My favorite poem for my favorite little lady

Clara Jane,

My favorite poem is and has always been "I carry your heart with me" by E.E. Cummings. I actually carried your heart inside of my body for 9+ months so it only seemed fitting that I named your baby blog after my favorite poem. And even though you're now outside of me, your heart will always be a part of mine. 

i carry your heart with me

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 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)
