Gershon Wolf Poet Couplet

Away at War these Long-lost Years

              He held her memory fiercely dear
                  away at war these long-lost years

               Her haloed hair, her velvet touch
                  he yearned for them so very much

               So sweetly did she sing his given name 
                  what he wouldn’t give to hear its strain… 

               While as she called him night and day
                   no flood of tears could wash her love away... 

               Though it was surely true what some dared say
                   a flame enclosed her as she prayed

Yann Rolland May 12, 2026 at 5:06 PM quite emotional poem, things we have to accept, wishes Gershon Wolf May 12, 2026 at 8:37 PM You're right, Yann. Thanks, gw

Joseph P. DiMino May 12, 2026 at 9:44 AM We hope for best, love driven, but no one knows God's Plans...somethings we must just accept though a heart broken. Even if I know truth, it is not the way I would do things. I expect a stern lecture some day. Blessings my friend. Gershon Wolf May 12, 2026 at 8:30 PM Joe, maybe the 'Lecture' won't be too stern. Let the Lord surprise you, ok?
