Notes About The Poem

This Phrase Called 'True Love'

True love
if you're lucky enough 
to find and nurture it;
the ticking hand of the clock,
as eternal as a cascading waterfall.

True love,
if it pulls you out 
of a bottomless abyss, weaves 
a glittering tapestry of enchantment
that remains unbroken.

True love, 
if gifted to you 
by the heavenly father,
is endless; as everlasting as time itself;
a gift that keeps on giving!

True love, 
if you can hold on to it, 
never slips out of your grasp
for it is as sure as God's boundless 
and limitless blessings! 

True love,
if it unexpectedly sneaks up 
and hits you in the pit of your soul,
may the happiness it brings you 
be infinite, I fervently pray.
