How Much LongerHow much longer, must I endure this pain,How much longer, before I see you again,How many more tears, do I shed, an ocean I've

cried, sinceyou were found dead.14 week's, of a terrible hell, when last I saw you, itwas

just your shell.No longer warm to the touch, "Oh" my darling, Ilove you so much.

ContI miss not touching you my love,

Since the Angel's, carried you above,I cannot hurt, no more than I do,My broken heart, still so in love with you,How much longer, must I endure this pain,It seems to worsen by the day,

I love and miss you so much my darling,Why? was I left here, alone to stay,We've been a pair for so long,together, always, we do belong,

One day my life will end, my love,I will come to you, up above,I won't forget you, nor love another,I wait to come to you, my Terry, my lover.

26/47

The beginning of good reading lies in goodspeaking. If you aim at good, clear articulation inyour speech, you will help yourself more than youknow, and to imagine that you can become a goodreader while you remain a careless, slovenlyspeaker is absurd. It has been pointed out by

some critics that if the writer aims always atspeaking as well as he can, and at expressinghimself in ordinary conversation as well as he can,the practice of selecting the finer sounds, phrases

and expressions becomes almost subconscious,and he reaps his harvest when he sits down towrite.
