John Gondolf Poet Rhyme

Love's Life Endeavor

It was many years ago,
   while looking for lasting love,
initially I came to know
a woman with radiant glow
   that ignited the stars above.

Right from the very start
   I knew it was forever.
She ransomed my lonely heart,
and never we’d be apart;
   it was love’s life endeavor.
