God granted me my most ardent prayer I couldn't have hoped for anything more. The sun spun golden glints in auburn hair to crown an angel's face that I adore. When we met, I knew we'd be together my heart was racing and wouldn't slow down. And I felt giddy, light as a feather, like my team won... and I scored the touchdown! Through the years, skin wrinkles and hair fads grey and yet, beauty is filtered through the heart. And the love we share sustains us each day only death can ever force us apart. Love means much more than wanting to be there, it's a lifelong commitment two hearts share. (Sonnet) 01/30/2020

Emile, congratulations on your win. Growing old together is a wonderful thing; we still see each other as we were when we first met. I just can't get over it. God gave us blinders to see the changing of our lives, but only the beauty of our souls. Enjoyed reading my friend. Hugs Eve

Your sonnet takes us through youth into aging with a steadfast love that is very beautiful Emile. This is a top winner for me. I loved it! (You have a typo in your girst line Emile.) xxoo
