A Love That Endures

A Love That Endures By Elton Camp In their teenage years, the two were wed And both really meant the vows they said Love proved easy when young and strong Each felt the other could do nothing wrong He was handsome & stood completely erect She had no wrinkles that he could detect Carnal passion greatly added to their joy And produced two girls and later, a boy The children though, too soon, moved away Always together, did the aging couple stay It’s true that problems in life did each find But to divorce never entered either’s mind And when sex mattered to the couple no more They loved in an even deeper way than before Both of them are now old, feeble and gray They help each other move along the way They tread together, to the end, hand-in-hand With a love that remains so precious and grand
