Undivided Love

Their love was divided
many times over
it stood the test of time
as they enlarged it

Never diminishing it grew
encompassing family
including friends
in their magic circle

No matter what life threw
their love grew
meeting adversity head on
and laughing in its face

The more they loved
the more it grew
an endless love
undiminished by time

I used quote 17
“Only love can be divided endlessly and still not diminish.”
- Anne Morrow Lindbergh
