Notes About The Poem

Author's Notes: "A Love So True" is an Unrhymed Tercet I originally completed on January 13, 2016. I wrote this to be a both a very positive and uplifting poem. My goal with this write was touch on certain aspects or things that I believe are quite important when each of us see out that very special person who can really be "one with us" in our life. "Love" is that ever-present and always passionate emotion which can plan, at times, a true centrifugal force in our respective lives. It is also integral, I believe to one's eternal soul and one's ultimate relationship to God Himself. When one finds this special person, both of them can then walk this special path of life together. Love is certainly dominant theme, and, in the end, God is Love for sure!! (Gary Bateman - April 23, 2016) (Unrhymed Tercet)

A Love So True

A Love So True

A love so true is what I’ve found in you my dearest one!
The depth of our shared emotions defy all description,
As they excite and enchant every aspect of our lives.

A love so true is a quest I started long ago to find you!
One so special with that undeniable smile and laugh;
One possessed with that rare angelic heart of gold.

A love so true binds us together even in strife and tribulation!
We find our shared thoughts and love do sustain us each day.
We renew our passion and commitment without reservation.   

A love so true blessed by our Lord God in Heaven above!
He watches over us now and gives us His true love always.
We walk in His divine path now, two souls forever as one.

YOU DO ROMANTIC VERSE SO VERY WELL MY FRIEND. True loves demands that we honor, respect and cleave unto our spouse.. As poets we write our hearts to them and let them know the depths of our deep love. A7 my friend.

Hello Dear Vera!! No worries. I actually wrote this love poem for my wife, Ingrid. (Which is true too for all of my love poetry.) And so, I understand completely what Peter does for you!! It's so nice hearing from you. I will be in touch again soon. I have so more new poetry to post. I was away for awhile working on prose writes for my second book. Our best wishes always to you and Peter. Best Always, Gary and Ingrid!!
