Notes About The Poem

Life and Love

LIFE AND LOVE

LIFE’S  1ST LOVE – FOREVER AND EVER

Some couples,
Fall in love on the double,
Others take years to tie the knot,
Yet others are happy to shack
Up with their mate,
Better to know early in a relationship
Rather than late, 
What is to be their fate!
Their promise of infinite love declared
Every day,
In every possible way,
Is hopefully why they want to 
Be together,
Forever and ever,
And therein is the cue,
And the obvious clue,
That their destiny for their remaining life,
Is to be a partner, a husband or a wife.

LIFE’S  2nd LOVE – FOR MY BRIDE

Will you be my bride,
And stand by my side,
Down by the sea,
As we watch the tide,
Will you hold my hand,
And be my guide,
As I marry you with oh such pride,
Will you say I do,
As we both pursue,
A life that is real,
And with all that we feel.
Whether good or bad,
Or happy or sad,
I’ll be there for you,
Our whole life through!

LIFE’S  3rd AND FINAL LOVE – TRUE PARTNERS

I want to see and do with you,
Our years on earth are all too few,
I want to share and to explore,
Only with you as we mature.
There is so much that we must learn,
With both our minds and bodies stern.
I hope a soft, sweet wind will show the way,
Sweep over us, and take us far away,
To unknown lands,
Where golden sands,
Will wake us every day!

Hi Kim, For me these poems are the three stages every,one goes through and the 3rd one is the golden stage that we reach through growing and maturing together. Thank you for your appreciation. xoxo
