What Every Mother Knows

On this beautiful Mother’s Day, I can think of no words on earth that better describe the depth of love I feel for my two beautiful children, Jennifer and Alex, than this exquisite poem written by Edward E. Cummings.

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
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

Happy Mother’s day.
