A chapter in the book Bubbles in the Wind

Everlasting Love

by BethShelby

We met when I was still so young,
love needed time to grow.
Two years would pass before I knew
I'd never let you go.

You didn't look at other girls
or ever let me down.
I learned that I could count on you
to always be around.

With passing years, I loved you more
than on our wedding day.
You proved to me a million times
your love was here to stay.

Those days flew by on falcon wings;
six decades, plus a year.
We realized time of fading fast.

The future was unckear.

Five years have passed since our last kiss
We whispered,"Bye, for now."
We knew we'd meet again someday.
God would provide the how.

Love isn't something meant to die.
The gift come from above.
When it is nourished here on earth,
death never swallows love.
