Mon, The woods are lovely, dark and deep But I have promises to keep And miles to go before I sleep And miles to go before I sleep. A promise given to the soul that as things are held close, and have so much meaning they become eternal, no matter what they are talking about. They seem to take a part of the reader and hold it close, and fit each reader as a piece of puzzle. Thanks for your read and reply, Yours as always Ian. I think I must have seen the film back in the 's I was in the Royal Air Force then and it was a time of restoring sanity to the world and when films of heroism came to the screen's of the cinema. It had a great impression on my thoughts at that time, I met many people around those times in the 's Gadys Aylward came to our school not sure how to spell her name, but the film of her life was made around Then later in the 's I use to help Barnes Wallace prepare the room for his lectures at R. Manby in Lincolnshire the man that designed the Dam busters bomb, He also was such a tiny man, when I saw the film they made of itI had to smile because they used an actor that was six feet if an inch. Still these are all other stories from the memory Bank lol. The Life That I Have again for calling in to see us here, Yours Ian. And like the old fashioned films, moved by their rousing music into The Life That I Have kind of trance-like lethargy mixed with vivaciousness one spins on into the forever on the end of the rope into paradise. Euphoric feeling sometimes I remember, going to the cinema was so exciting, we even dressed up for the occasion!

This is to me one of the most memorable poems I have heard, the history is below, and the film is a have to see one, though it was made many years ago "Carve Her Name with Pride" Is a British drama film based on the book of the same name by R. It goes without say that it is a tear jerker but the poem rings with such a love, which in the film was directed at the daughter she had left behind to go on a mission into occupied France Just an addition to great poems Yours Ian.

The Life That I Have Poem by Leo Marks - Poem Hunter 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. I agree with others, this was not recited well at all. No feeling. This poem means a lot to me as it meant a lot to me and the person I shared it with who is no longer with us but the poem lingers on. Nice poem. Wat u have, you have and it seems you have talent 4 writin beautiful poem. Tanks 4 sharin. The life that I have Is yours The love that I have is yours The sleep, the rest, the death a price of story from me is yours I have just returned from a The Life That I Have party to commemorate Violette Szabo's birthday at a small museum in Hereford. Virginia McKenna was there and she recited this poem. Very Very moving. In my mothers dying wishes, she asked for this poem to be read at her funeral. I have now had it inscribed on her memorial stone. She lived only for my two brothers and myself. The words 'yours and yours and yours' is mum telling her three children that her life and love for us, was all that she had. This poem by Leo Marks engulfs me in thoughts and The Life That I Have of my mother. Just beautiful. How to ruin a very moving poem The recorded reading does not do justice to such The Life That I Have words. Maybe you could record a reader who will show some passion The Life That I Have their reading to commemorate the life and sacrifice of Violette Szabo the SOE agent executed by the Nazis in WWll. Violette needed a new coding poem. Leo Marx, the Head of Codes, had written one for a recently deceased girlfriend. He was so taken by Violette that he let it become hers. Carve Her Name With Pride. The reading of the poem is shocking and The Life That I Have do any justice to such moving words. Find someone with passion who will eloquently commemorate the life and sacrifice of Violette Szabo. I have had the same problem - it is now The Life That I Have I have been awake all night - have seen the film 4 times now and it still makes a tar in the eyes. True story made in about a woman soldier held prisoner and tortured and died in WW2 by Nazis in concentration camp. It was Heart Breaking and I need forgot this poem from that film. Leo Marks.
