I Will Always Love You

should the sky crash down
the sea come to boil
winds blow all away
sands harden to clay
air becomes fetid

tides defy moon
stars cease to shine
snow melts away
time stops ticking

I remain
undaunted
through it all

I will
still love

you

This is romantical, and pretty.

I know. I don't usually write the sappy stuff, but that one, expressing my life for Deb, seemed to fit the form so well. Glad you liked it.

Wonderful. If I ever have need to write such words, Milt, I hope mine can hold a candle to yours. Terry

Well, I'm absolutely certain you can write better, but, if you need to, you can use these! I don't mind.

This loving poem to your dear wife will keep you close until you meet again. My son David died 3years ago on my grandsons 12th birthday(29th December 2018) I have his photo on my computer and I talk to him sometimes this keeps him close to me. True love never dies.

Shirley, that is so true. I appreciate your sharing your loss with me. I know it never gets better, but we do learn how to effectively cope with it.

I always told her I would give her the moon and the stars, if I could, Valsa. The only way I could do it was with verse. One of the beauties of thinking poetically. Thank you for reading and writing your comment.
