My Love Endures

As steadfast as the sea Pounding its symphony Making love to the shore Always reaching for more My love endures As stars that grace the sky Sung in sweet lullaby Firmament jewelry Bequeathed to you and me My love endures As mountains that remain Which mysteries contain That stand the test of time God’s sentinels sublime My love endures As searing as the sun Placed to rule everyone Who daily journey makes With warmth that nature wakes My love endures My love endures Through all changing seasons Through all unknown reasons Through all the storms and strife Through all that threatens life Through portals of the grave Through the gates of the saved MY love ENDURES Eileen Manassian PS…this is a romantic love poem, but it is an echo of Psalm 136 which is a testament to the greatest love one can ever experience….the love of the Almighty! Psalm 136 1 Give thanks to the LORD, for he is good. His love endures forever. 2 Give thanks to the God of gods. His love endures forever. 3 Give thanks to the Lord of lords: His love endures forever to him who alone does great wonders, His love endures forever. 5 who by his understanding made the heavens, His love endures forever. 6 who spread out the earth upon the waters, His love endures forever. 7 who made the great lights— His love endures forever. 8 the sun to govern the day, His love endures forever. 9 the moon and stars to govern the night; His love endures forever

Thanks, Regina. I know you are a spiritual woman. I do have some spiritual writes that include Bible verses. Some of my poetry is sensual in nature. You might be surprised by the varying themes. :) I am an enigma, but God is working on me! Hugs
