A Love To Last

Postby Joseph Anderson » Mon Dec 29, 2014 7:46 pm

We stole each others heart away
with hope, with dreams and care,
E'er knowing love would pave the way
for blissful times we'd share.

So oft we trod those peaceful hills,
when love was sweet and new;
'Twas there that passion lit the spark
from whence our family grew.

Then death made claim that fated day,
amidst the tears we cried
and now my dear, I see so clear
our love has never died.

To soon in time, I'll follow you
across that great divide;
Together now, forevermore,
Together, side by side.

1984

A simplistic, perhaps fatalistic view of the inevitable.

Absolutely beautiful Joseph.

Death is not the end of love, it survives in the heart and soul where it is nourished and kept for always...

I have tears in my eyes as I read this bittersweet write and this is what great poetry does; it touches the reader's soul with with its sincerity. To have loved and lost is saddening, but your last stanza is the turning point to eternity. I appreciated you leaving the date of your heartfelt loss, as it has been three decades, and this poem will stay with me for a long time Joseph.
