I am going to start things off with a chick flick moment. In Her Shoes may not qualify for as a “wear out the DVD” chick flick movie (my opinion only!), but when Cameron Diaz read this poem, my heart melted and I know at least one person who was reduced to tears (not me – I promise!).

I admit that my days of studying or even reading poetry ended when the ink dried on my Leaving Cert English Paper, but there is something about I Carry You in my Heart  that I find evocative, heart warming and that I believe will transcend time and be forever relevant to the romantics in this life!

This poem is great for inclusion in a bridesmaid speech or could be included after your personal message to your guests at the end of your Wedding Ceremony Book.  I have read this so often, I think I could create a complete wedding theme based on these words!!

i carry your heart with me (i carry it in
my heart) i am never without it (anywhere
i go you go, my dear; and whatever is done
by only me is your doing, my darling)
i fear
no fate(for you are my fate, my sweet) i want
no world(for beautiful you are my world, my true)
and it’s you are whatever a moon has always meant
and whatever a sun will always sing is you

here is the deepest secret nobody knows
(here is the root of the root and the bud of the bud
and the sky of the sky of a tree called life; which grows
higher than the soul can hope or mind can hide)
and this is the wonder that’s keeping the stars apart

i carry your heart(i carry it in my heart)
