Mr. Spock's Poetry Corner: A Lifetime of Love

So we own this book.

And I was thinking, hey, I like Star Trek and poetry and the internet. And everyone knows that taking things you like and mashing them together is always awesome.

So I will be reading to you from "A Lifetime of Love — Poems on the Passages of Life" every so often, until I finish the book or get bored of googling Spock pictures. Enjoy.

A Lifetime of Love

by Leonard Nimoy

I am an incurable romantic

I believe in hope, dreams and decency

I believe in love

Tenderness and kindness

I believe in mankind

I believe in goodness

Mercy and charity

I believe in a universal spirit

I believe in casting bread

Upon the waters

I am awed by the snow-capped mountains

By the vastness of the oceans

I am moved by a couple

Of any age — holding hands

As they walk through city streets

A living creature in pain

Makes me shudder with sorrow

A seagull's cry fills me

With a sense of mystery

A river or stream

Can move me to tears

A lake nestling in a valley

Can bring me peace
