Yours by Leo Marks

by Jane Rosebery

The life that I haveIs all that I haveAnd the life that I haveIs yours.The love that I haveOf the life that I haveIs yours and yours and yours.A sleep I shall haveA rest I shall haveYetThis poem was written by Leo Marks to be used as code during WWII. The woman it was written for was killed by the Nazis. The backstory breaks my heart each time I read this poem.
