Poems I've collected along the way

I know of a world that is sunk in shame,
Where hearts oft faint and tire;
But I know of a Name, a precious Name,
That can set that world on fire:
Its sound is sweet, its letters flame.
I know of a Name, a precious Name,
'Tis Jesus.
~J. Wilbur Chapman



The King of love my Shepherd is,
Whose goodness faileth never;
I nothing lack if I am His
And He is mine forever.
~Henry William Baker


My debt to you, Belovèd,
Is one I cannot pay
In any coin of any
realm
On any reckoning day.
~Jessie B. Rittenhouse

"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
no one 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. It is the wonder that's keeping the stars apart. I
carry your heart. I carry it in my heart."
~E.E. Cummings
