This poem is very special to me as it depicts love both during and after life. Eternal love

if this is the life I have, my best is yet to come, sad to say. but I need to believe that..

really touching for me! great

Remember the very first time I hears this and it will stay with me forever. Simple yet stunning

I love the rhythm of this poem. Have you noticed it's like a heartbeat?

This poem was first 'read' to me by a girl, Poppy who became so very very special to me. It moved us so much it became 'our' poem. The background to it so moving, the sentiment so strong it's overpowering. The words have to be set to memory. ISL

My absolute favourite poem ever beautiful always loved it

What beautiful use of words. Lovely poem.

I have to admit that I am not a poetry aficionado, more of a philistine really,
but this poem really moved me in a way that no other has
