Love Bonds

True love is never taken to the grave Death, though the final blow to all living kind, Never takes with it the heart of the living When “Death” calls A life journey “ends” replaced by memories For loved ones “a” thread to hold onto A link to help make the “life” of those left behind bearable For the loving spouse this is “not” always where the journey ends Their heart remains still “a” part of the missing whole The living “relationship” only severed Written by: Debra Squyres on 1-16-12 For: “Middle of the Road” members contest Sponsored by: HGarvey Daniel Exquire (This was perfectly centered in my program, but not here, sorry.)

true love always goes to the grave, and when you have passed over, you meet again to reclaim, old friends do wait in clover...

Dear Anne...my heart goes out to you, and I know this hits home. It still hits home to me and it's been almost 10 yrs. Perhaps in the future this can be set aside for something more, something different, someone special that comes along. I wish it and pray it for you and myself !! God Bless !!!
