Unending Love

I graduated with honors at medical school,
And wished to settle in my own tradition
No frivolous girl deserved to be my wife, life’s cruel,
 I wanted the best that was my ambition.

It was always a desire that my love will be unending,
So that when I give my heart it will be completely
A character that despite all, ‘twill be so befriending
A pleasing lass that can only show her love so sweetly.

In this restless world marred by heretic modernism
True love that I always wanted, is oft ended before it began
No one of those I met cares about reciprocal altruism
Life on the campus took the semblance of a game plan.

So when I’ll finally meet my true and only love
It must, like it or not, be something enduring for ever.
I have to find an endearing cooing caring dove
A lasting marriage success will be our endeavor.

I met her on a small hill where she fell upon the moss,
Together we hobbled to an inn where care was tended.
It was love at first sight and my proposal I put across,
We talked and ideas exchanged, all was truly splendid.

Thus I decided that she was to be my dearest wife,
Had she but refused, would have been the end of my life.

A most enjoyable read Victor. A man who sets standards and then remains true to himself, a very admirable quality.

Victor, was this one autobiographical. I ask this because I know sometimes you invent stories, and I did not know if you had been in medical school. Quite an accomplishment if you were!!

I was at University but not as a medical person. The story is part fictitious.

I appreciated perusing your romantic tale, and I'm happy that you, at last, discovered what you searched for. You consumed the time on earth together, I realize it is difficult to fail to remember this extraordinary love, yet life needs to proceed.
