Love Is Forever

As the light fades and darkness descends Night falls into the whisper of the wind Trying to find comfort within your dreams Sadness grips your heart Tearing your world apart Darkness consumed your soul In grief you do not know You do not walk the path alone You walk with the greatest man ever known We all have burdens we must bear At times all seems so unfair The pain endured will slowly diminish As the memories begin to fill the void Love will remain and linger in your heart. As you shed a tear on that final goodbye LOVE stays forever.... it never dies.

I like this poem because it conveys real, DEEP sorrow/sadness/pain. I hope you're moving past it somehow and the sunshine of love is returning. Thanks for sharing & God bless. Terrell (Terry) Martin

God is always by our sides, Phyllis. Truly, we are never alone, even in our darkest hours He's there. Still, I also thought of my late husband when reading this. How true that "love stays forever." He may be gone, but my love for him remains. Beautiful write! I'll have to check my Soup Mail now. Thanks for your comment. Love, Carolyn

True love doesn't die but when yoou lose your love it does hurt for a long time. However, time heals all wounds and wounds all heels.;) A well thought out write here my friend. Really good rhyme and flow. Love the part about walking with the Greatest Man Ever Know. Good Stuff. God Bless, JB

phyllis, so you noticed Iam not here as much. It must be really obvious. Hubbie is always here looking for work online and I am very lmited on my time. My shoulder is not progressing fast, so I am gonna pay a therapist today to see if I am doing my exercises wrong or something. My other back problem continues and I have no clue what is causing it. Not good times. I hope times for you are better. Well, your poem here is WoNDERFUL. Is it for a contest, sweetie? If so, best of luck. LUv, Andrea
