79. 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) Iwant

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)

— E. E. Cummings

80. How Do I Love Thee? (Sonnet 43)

How do I love thee? Let me count the ways.

I love thee to the depth and breadth and height

My soul can reach, when feeling out of sight

For the ends of being and ideal grace.

I love thee to the level of every day’s

Most quiet need, by sun and candle-light.

I love thee freely, as men strive for right.

I love thee purely, as they turn from praise.

I love thee with the passion put to use

In my old griefs, and with my childhood’s faith.

I love thee with a love I seemed to lose

With my lost saints. I love thee with the breath,

Smiles, tears, of all my life; and, if God choose,

I shall but love thee better after death.

—Elizabeth Barrett Browning

81. L is for ‘laughter’ we had along the way.

O is for ‘optimism’ you gave me every day.

82. Happy, full and rich is my life;

Contentment is all I see.

Why all the rapture, joy, delight?

It’s simply because you love me.

— Joanna Fuchs

83. The sky was lit

by the splendor of the moon

So powerful

I fell to the ground

Your love

has made me sure

I am ready to forsake

this worldly life

and surrender

to the magnificence

of your Being

— Rumi
