My True Love

The moment I met him it was true love, I fell into his brown eyes and was lost; and soon, we fit together like a glove, into this journey of love sweetly tossed. Knew, I had met my forever life mate, and I accepted him with all his flaws; my true love 'till I stand at Heaven's gate, though his habits sometimes gave me to pause. We accept all- there was no need to change, yes, we had angry moments but could laugh; for we loved to have a wordy exchange, over time he became my other half. I find him now, down a graveyard path paved; for my true love is but a name engraved. ______________________________ February 4, 2020 Poetry/Sonnet/My True Love Copyright Protected, ID 02-1317-863-04 All Rights Reserved, 2020, Constance La France Submitted into the Standard contest, Your Best Sonnet 2020 sponsor, John Hamilton, Judged 01/04/21 Second Place
