Lifting Love

A poem for couples who are apart often.  8 Syllables.


Your deep love wraps around my heart
A blanket that comforts a start
To begin the day with a kiss
That lasts through each moment I miss
I wait to give you all I can
Through the hours, I wonder when
We will return to our embrace
And look into each other’s face
Irreplaceable times ignite
The flame that carries our own flight
I will always be here for you
To catch you from any fall too
When you may feel too weak to fly,
I’ll lift you with the reasons why
And in these times you are away
Carry these words I have to say…
My love is here for you each day

Heidi Sands

Congratulations, and excellent post, Heidi. I love the flow of the words, the rhyming pattern, and the impact of the message. I am very proud of you. The descriptive excellence is lovely and sends terrific images. The theme of "Lifting Love," stands out, and the tone moves the piece down the page with much grace. Great job! Have a fantastic day, and God's richest grace and blessings to you always. –Professor, Ambassador, Dr. Joseph S. Spence Sr. (Epulaeryu Master)!
