Hoping someone can help me! At the end of the movie, “In Her Shoes,” Cameron Diaz’s character reads a beautiful poem to Toni Collette’s character at her wedding. It’s a beautiful poem and contains the line, “I hold your heart” or something along those lines. Anyone know who wrote the poem and where I can get a copy of it? ---

It’s E.E. Cummings’ “i carry your heart with me(i carry it in” – those Cummings titles are a bit wacky as he often doesn’t title them, so they just use the first line. I have it in a complete works of Cummings, but it’s in his volume _95 Poems_. [Here’s a link](http://www.poemhunter.com/p/m/poem.asp?poet=6588&poem=30523) to it. I know it was set to music by Michael Hedges. It’s a favorite of mine too, and it was abridged a bit in the movie. ---
