Kirstie Fontes Poet Rhyme

To James

We walk in the ocean against the tide.
We hold on tightly to survive the ride.

This life is not easy
This love not in vain
We try to walk closer
We try to sustain

There are times when our hold breaks
And one of us will fall.
But the other stands near wanting and waiting to answer their lovers call.

The sun comes out briefly through the dark gloomy skies.
We know it won't last but our hope never dies.
This is a rough road that we lead in life.
But there'll never be a day
I regret being your Wife!

Daniel Henry Rodgers October 30, 2023 at 4:28 AM Kristie, your poem is a beautiful and moving exploration of the challenges and rewards of a committed relationship. I love the way you use the imagery of the ocean and the tide to represent the journey of love and the way you celebrate the resilience and hope that sustains us through difficult times. Your poem is a reminder that even the most enduring relationships require effort and sacrifice but that the rewards are well worth it.
