That's EXACTLY the secret! 'Cause it's too easy to let go, to let other things in and interfere ... Good advice. :)
This is a great 20 syllable poem. I think it will do well in the contest. Good luck there and blessings,
Deb

Sixty years! Congradulations are in order. You are right about holding on, especially to all the love in your heart. I've been married for 40 years to the best man... I guess we've both been lucky.

Well, you've got 9 years on us. We've been married 51 years. And you ate so right. Through all the storms - large and small - that life throws at you, you need to hold onto each other for dear life.

You apparently hit on a way to keep married life fresh for so many years, although it seems that it probably was just doin' what comes naturally. ;o)

i always find it interesting to listen to an elderly person. the secret and wisdom they can teach is endless. your poem was truly created with creativity. thanks for the read. "your so vein" means mood or humor.

So true! Short and sweet and says it all! I like the fact that it evokes the idea of forever. If everyone just sticks with it, and doesn't give up, love can last forever! Thanks for sharing this inspiring poem!

A very well-written twenty syllable poem. To make a lifelong relationship work well it is not only holding on tight but also hard work, sacrifices and lots of forgiveness.
