Forever and a Day

My love
I’m right here
Forever by your side
I am strong enough for two
Never will I let you down

It breaks my heart
To see your vitality
Slowly fade to nothing
But the eyes don’t lie

The twinkle is still there
Down deep inside
The love’s still there
Deep down inside    

The memories we made
They’ll never fade
When I hold your hand
And see your smile
My heart melts a little more
It brings me back to yesterday

Always I’ll be right here
By your side
My love
My heart
My soul 
Always I will love you
Forever and a day

Gershon Wolf Date: 2/19/2019 3:56:00 PM This is so tender, so poignant, Line. It's really breathtakingly beautiful. An absolute FAVE. (And I'm insanely jealous--not really, although I should be--- of your husband.... I have to restrain myself: 'Thou shalt not covet thy neighbor's property, his wife, etc.... It really does work when it really does apply, as here...). Blessings, Gershon Login to Reply Line Gauthier Date: 2/19/2019 4:56:00 PM LOL you are TOO funny, Gershon. I'm sure you and your lovely wife have an awesome relationship. Thanks for the lovely compliment. Most appreciated.

Timothy Mcguire Date: 2/18/2019 9:10:00 PM This is a wonder poem talking about a serious aspect of life. But I really see in this poem is what a good heart and soul you have. The best to you and yours. Login to Reply Line Gauthier Date: 2/18/2019 9:59:00 PM Thanks for your lovely visit and compliment, Timothy.

Heidi Sands Date: 2/18/2019 5:51:00 PM Very nice Line! Comforting and loving :) Login to Reply Line Gauthier Date: 2/18/2019 6:19:00 PM Thank you, Heidi.

Carolyn Devonshire Date: 2/18/2019 4:41:00 PM I love the sincerity of this poem, Line, and it's touching that although his memory of times you shared fades, you remain by your side. Dementia can recede for moments of time and your description of the "twinkle" you still see is so well penned. Best wishes in the contest, Carolyn Login to Reply Line Gauthier Date: 2/18/2019 6:20:00 PM Thank you so much for your lovely visit and comment, Carolyn.

Peter Hackwell Date: 2/18/2019 1:52:00 PM Hi Line - Wow - I just thought I'd have a look at your material esp as you were good enough to comment on mine. The lines 'My love My heart My soul', is what my late wife had engraved on the back of my watch. It was a surprise to see, I can tell you! + I enjoyed the poem. It resonates strongly. Login to Reply Line Gauthier Date: 2/18/2019 3:26:00 PM Dear Peter, Thank you so much for your loving comment. I am extremely touched. Warmest poetry hugs. Line xx

Constance La France Date: 2/18/2019 3:40:00 AM Line, how beautiful and heartwarming are your words of love and devotion, and I know you are singing them to your husband and I have no idea if they go with the music but no matter your poem is touching and emotional ~ Login to Reply Line Gauthier Date: 2/18/2019 7:30:00 AM Thankfully my husband's mind is not fading... yet... LOL... The haunting music that was the inspiration (Kevin Kern's piano composition 'I'm Always Right Here') is most beautiful and it's all in the way the lyrics are read. Thanks for your lovely visit and compliment, Constance.
