We (Bette) met the end of my first week of basic training in Aldershot at the Army and Navy and for me it was love at first sight. I was doing my QA training

This has always been one of my (Bette's) favourite poems and says it all about true love for me

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.

This is a poem I love from Violetta Zarbo;s husband:
