I like this very much, I agree with what you say about love. You are right in saying that love cures, even in the hardest of times. Thank you for sharing your well written poem. :)

Young love was a time long ago when life was simple, single, and sweet, Dragonpoet. :) Then life sets in and the kids start to cry. We work all day and the bills pile high. Not so simple anymore now there are two or three at the door. All are single and the kids... well they are sweet. :) Thank you for sharing.

This is a beautifully written poem for the club entry it's so nice to see different interpretations of the same photo. It's amazing. Your poem has a great flow and rhyme. Really nice interpretation of the given artwork.

I love this painting. It says volumes and your sweet poem definitely has a powerful message as well.
I too believe that love always cures.

This is an adorable poem. I enjoy your rhyming here. Young love is such a precious happening. Whether it lasts or fades, it's pure and complete. Young love is special.

What a lovely interpretation of this artwork! It's nostalgic and hopeful. If it's true love, the bond will only grow stronger over time. From small beginnings, the seed of love grows when it is nourished by light and warmth from conjoined hearts.

That's just beautiful, and all so true. You've written a fine and thoughtful poem, and it flows well and rhymes well. It's the perfect accompaniment for the image prompt.

A very heartwarming and delightful poem of young love. I particularly like hobbies and pets put in the background. Once love is discovered all other things are put aside.
Best wishes
Mary

I'm not here to counterpunch the thought and I wish that it was true but with half of marriages ending in divorce, if a cure was used, only half the time it endures.

    You are right about the sad statistics of divorce. I think some divorce would be countered if marriage isn't forced on a girl and boy who create a baby. But this was only to tell what you feel at the beginning of love. You always feel it will last forever.
    Thanks, Tom.

The poem flows well. The presentation is warm and fuzzy. The images are clear. The narrative stays on point. The simple language fits the theme.

Thanks for sharing a good read.
