Roh and I celebrated our 30th wedding anniversary in style at the weekend. Around 140 friends and family gathered for an evening soiree (didn't know that was what they were called until someone told me at the weekend- I was just calling it an evening do!).
It was a great time. We hired a band called Sejuice, up from London. A mix of swing, jazz and easy pop, they were a real success. I was so proud of Roh, she did a fantastic speech. And after 30 years, I love her more than ever. My contribution in my speech was a poem by E E Cummings. A bit soft and sentimental, but it says all I wanted to say:
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 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)
