[i]If you can force your heart and nerve and sinew to serve your turn long after they are gone, and so hold on when there is nothing in you except the will which says to them "Hold on !"[/i]

@Picklebobble2 My mother's favorite. She had it framed and hung in the living room.

This poem was my bible growing up. I would come back to it many times during rough times. @Picklebobble2

@eli1601 When i was a child. Maybe 7,8. i had a teacher at Junior School who took us for 'Poetry' once a week.

Amongst the Limericks and the 'kiddy' rhymes, i [i]found[/i] this poem at the back of the book we were reading.

BLEW MY MIND ! I understood EVERY WORD !
Gave me a love for poetry ever since !

At night it turns dark
Like my life without you
Turns my heart dark blue

"Stop all the clocks, cut off the telephone,
Prevent the dog from barking with a juicy bone,
Silence the pianos and with muffled drum
Bring out the coffin, let the mourners come."
