Like the River Flows

I have loved you long
With a love that is strong
Like a river flows deep and wide
Or the rise and fall of the tide 

Now that I am old
Has your love grown cold
You were once in love 
A gift to me from above

Will love's desire rekindle
In the latter years that dwindle
Will the snow on the mountain
Fizzle in warm hearth's fountain

Rhythm of Once In Every Life by Ronnie Milsap

Arturo Michael Date: 9/26/2017 5:53:00 PM You make me smile Sara... Is time, more important than quality? Enjoyed your poem...Have a nice evening Login to Reply Sara Kendrick Date: 9/27/2017 11:14:00 AM Micheal, Quality of love is the most important with some people getting a long time together with good quality and some getting a long time together with poor quality..For most couples there are good times and bad times but if one works through the bad times then the good times are very special.Thanks for the visit to my page..I appreciate the time spent here..Sara

Silent One Date: 9/26/2017 3:29:00 PM Sad reality of some relationships over time.. your poem flows very well.. Login to Reply Sara Kendrick Date: 9/27/2017 11:10:00 AM SO, Just a made up one..I see many couples sitting in restaurants non-communicating...Sad to see but sometimes they are just comfortable with each other and sometimes it is they are not interested in each other anymore..Thanks for dropping by..Sara
