My Favorite Devonshire

Perhaps it is my favorite and perhaps not but it is a great poem as are all of Carolyn's. Carolyn has been my friend on these pages since we discovered each other's poems. I consider her one of the premium writers on Soup and certainly one of the kindest and most helpful. I enjoy the sentiment expressed so skllfully and understated in this and all of her works. Eternal Love spring blossoms’ scents carry as we hold hands young lovers with dreams of lasting passion little attention is paid to the questions: will this love last? will we always feel this ardor? after marriage a new type of love is learned wee faces, gifts from heaven, bring smiles but questions become more clear will we live to see them grow? will we be able to provide for them? unconditional is the nature of true love partners who share life’s challenge brave the winter together compromise is the key to harmony and answers are found regardless of the pain encountered affection sees us through the storms passion changes forms, but true love lasts eternally By Carolyn Devonshire Enjoy your honors dear Carolyn. Love, Joyce

will this love last? will we always feel this ardor? someone special should read these words and think about who they come from.
