Phyllis Babcock Poet Free verse

Love Is Forever

As the light fades and darkness descends
  Night falls into the whisper of the wind  
  Trying to find comfort within your dreams
  Sadness grips your heart
  Tearing your world apart
  Darkness consumed your soul
   In grief you do not know
  You do not walk the path alone
  You walk with the greatest man ever known
  We all have burdens we must bear
  At times  all seems so unfair
  The pain endured will slowly diminish
  As the memories begin to fill the void
  Love will remain and linger in your heart.
  As you shed a tear on that final goodbye
  LOVE stays forever.... it never dies.

Carolyn Devonshire July 31, 2011 at 2:23 PM God is always by our sides, Phyllis. Truly, we are never alone, even in our darkest hours He's there. Still, I also thought of my late husband when reading this. How true that "love stays forever." He may be gone, but my love for him remains. Beautiful write! I'll have to check my Soup Mail now. Thanks for your comment. Love, Carolyn

Judy Ball July 30, 2011 at 6:25 PM True love doesn't die but when yoou lose your love it does hurt for a long time.

Andrea Dietrich July 29, 2011 at 2:13 PM phyllis, so you noticed Iam not here as much. It must be really obvious. Hubbie is always here looking for work online and I am very lmited on my time. My shoulder is not progressing fast, so I am gonna pay a therapist today to see if I am doing my exercises wrong or something. My other back problem continues and I have no clue what is causing it. Not good times. I hope times for you are better. Well, your poem here is WoNDERFUL. Is it for a contest, sweetie? If so, best of luck. LUv, Andrea
