Poem (The Life That I Have)

The English writer Leo Marks wrote the short poem The Life That I Have. It is a short love poem which employs repetition. Here it is:

The Life That I Have

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.

The poem repeats the word yours and the words that I have many times. It is composed of four stanzas. The first has four verses and the last three have three. It is a poem that expresses life and love beautifully.
