The Life That I Have
Leo Marks
The life that I have
Is all that I have
And the life that I have
Is yours
The love that I have
Of the life that I have
Is yours and yours and yours
A sleep I shall have
A rest I shall have
Yet death will be but a pause
For the peace of my years
In the long green grass
Will be yours and yours
And yours
Didn't know that this poem was used as a poem code in the second world war. Anyway I will recite this later in my lola and lolo's wedding. I find it really hard to say things that are not as honest as I think they are, so I opted to resolve this by recounting someone else's truthful and sincere words. And the best thing about it is it's music to my ears (and I hope to my grandparents's ears too)... just like hugging a friend who you loved so much but never had the chance to be more telling with.
About
- Finella
- hi. i'm finella. i like a lot of things and i think i like to feel. i also enjoy taking long walks, and watching dolphins&other sea creatures, and going to museums, and being with a few people, and eating mexican/indian food. the usual stuff—art, music, books, russia, trains, airports, philosophy, psychology, and literature— intrigue me. i'm an engineering student (MS soon to be PhD) and i don't feel like one. and i think that's okay as long as i stay true to myself. i am very idealistic, but at times, like right now, i don't feel like one because i am an enfp. my only dream is to have a constant happy disposition. that's very idealistic and i'm quite pessimistic so i don't know.
