October 23: Passion

I know I already wrote about motherly love but passion is different. Passion and sacrifice come from the same root word in greek "paschō" and latin "passio". Merriam Webster defines passion as devotion or zeal. I was watching In her shoes I think it was called and this poem was recited. I must admit I thought of my oldest son immediately. He hasn't been home much due to my work schedule but I hope to have him home soon.

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 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)
