Impromptu meeting... lightning romance our hearts, minds, bodies and souls became one... man and wife a long time ago... love grew stronger With no idea what was set in motion each part of the whole... at times lost with help from God a long time ago... love grew stronger Life stuff happened... at times we were lost I was sure he would leave me he worked hard to give us a life I could cherish... as he did me a long time ago... love grew stronger He was seriously injured... again we were lost he was sure I would leave him I worked hard to give him a life he could cherish...as I did him a long time ago... love grew stronger Now forty years later... another life phase our plan is to face our fears enjoy the life we cherish... and each other with faith in God... like a long time ago our love will grow stronger May 2, 2018 Free Verse on Love Contest - By Laura Loo Second Place

Such a lovely poem it is, that s what is love, to have a share in your partner happy and sad moments, to stay with them when nobody else is willing to and always try to find a way to make your partner happy, a really beautiful poem, congratulations on your win

I think a good marriage is just like everything else in life. The more you put into it, the more you get back and the easier it gets. Sounds like you both are very good at life. Wonderful poem, made my heart sigh:)

What a beautiful loving poem, and a tribute to your ability to capture the feelings of a long-term marriage, and to incorporate God was genius. Well written. I see it is free verse, so I am going to look that up since I do not understand what it is exactly. But this is a wonderful poem, Susan.

Free verse is new to me too. I appreciate your input. Thank you for your comments.
