Wow! I have never read this. Indeed to spend some more time deconstructing it. It may be my new favpiece of literature. Thank you so much for sharing this

Please, everyone, clink on his link. Poets and artists convey so much that is often bigger than ourselves. Good stuff.

If a picture paints a thousand words
Then why can’t I paint you?
The words will never show
The you I’ve come to know

If a face could launch a thousand ships
Then where am I to go?
There’s no one home but you
You’re all that’s left me too
And when my love for life is running dry
You come and pour yourself on me

If a man could be two places at one time
I’d be with you
Tomorrow and today
Beside you all the way

If the world should stop revolving
Spinning slowly down to die
I’d spend the end with you
And when the world was through
Then one by one the stars would all go out
Then you and I would simply fly away

Oh my goodness no.

That’s an old pop song from the early 70s.

I had no idea! Lovely sentiment. A pop song you say... Who’d a thunk it?

Thx.

Every millennial needs a large copy of this poem, on their wall, to read each day.

If you’re into Kindle Unlimited, you can download all of Kipling’s works pretty much all free. I can’t read enough of them/him.
