There Once More

That sad day when you said, "It's just not there" Such sentiments seemed pulled out of the air For many months we'd loved and lived as one Sharing dreams under the Florida sun Our hopes were cast like nets into the sea Never did I think they'd come up empty What caused this shift was not for me to know As 'neath the rays I wallowed far below Searching for answers, wiping tears from my eyes I longed to make sense, but reason defied Until I found the hidden doctor's note And learned your survival now seemed remote I fought my way back into your strong arms To stand again with you and ease the harm

Wow Carolyn, the irony of Love! Reminds me of O Henry! The depth of love is not always visible to the naked eye, it has to be felt in the soul! Beautiful!!! Love Jeralynn

Carolyn this is utter devotion and it truly stands to hold meaning to I will stand by my man through thick and thin and across the highest mountain until my time here on earth is done, Thank you for sharing this with all of us here in the poetry community because it just shows that there are still a few people out there in the world that believe in true and utter devotion. Have a wonderful weekend.Dean
