When Chelsea Clinton got married, the late Leo Marks was invited (not as a peeping tom) but his legacy as writer and WWIII decoder was instantly resurrected once the couple spoke their vows. Over the web, The Life That I Have became a meme, trending everywhere for almost a week.
Chelsea Clinton's wedding poem was just a perfect grand testament to love!
However, one could sense the great loss, love and personal tragedies encrypted into the poem by Leo Marks. Who dedicated the poem, The Life That I Have to a girlfriend who died in a plane crash and made famous by a french agent Violette Szabo who died in the hands of the Nazis during WWII.
Here is a poem rooted in tragedy and finds new meaning in this modern age as a celebration of love for a young couple.
The Life That I Have
by 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
