Good morning Mustangsally. How are you on this Saturday morning? I enjoyed reading your simple poem about your sweet affection for your husband of so many years. It was a joy to read. Tony

This is so beautiful! I didn't read the first one you wrote. One thing about this site is the feedback in helping us grow as writers and learn all we can learn...great job.

Congratulations on being married 27 years. I have been married to my man for 31 years and love that we can look back and say "We made it"!

I liked this very much but felt it was good from the point of view of being able to interpret it as I will. Personally I do not think that repeats spoil a piece of work, but then I did not get to read the original. Thank you also for your personal comments at the end and I wish you congratulations on your 27 years together - which are always through thick and thin for all of us.

I agree with your other reviewers, no need for repetition in a short poem. Your revised version is a splendid tribut to the love you and your husband share.
Well done, Buck

"Less is better." This quote comes to my mind...
Love truly is the most simple emotion...basic, Beginning and end~with no end unless we disengage it! How sad for us if we reject that which is the substance of life...
Lovely write-enjoyed read/review
Thanks!

well done. I didn't read the older version, but I like this one. I like the picture, the words, and the sentiment. They all come through clearly and with great poise, just like the tree in your pic! Thanks for sharing.

What an embrace of the heart this work possesses! It's a quiet place of love that reflects the tenderness between two, the kind of prose that makes me sigh with longing. It's peace in devotion, joy in togetherness, and a hug of connected spirits. Wonderful!

Mustangpatty:
That pretty thanks to a subtlety of words and the delivery of a heart that is safeguarded in that beautiful and afraid of losing.

Congratulations
