Today’s prompt for Writing 101: Poetry is beloved. The first thing that came to mind was my parents. They shared a love so tender and sweet that it’s difficult to know they aren’t together anymore.
He saw her across a crowded room,
just a glimpse
but his heart knew
that she was the one for him.
A love so true it sealed their fate,
college sweethearts
who could not wait
to begin life as husband and wife.
A life they shared together as one,
a true family
with one daughter and a son,
their life and love continued on.
Then illness struck,
taking her from him,
only a stroke of malicious luck
could bring their marriage to an end.
But love prevails,
going beyond even death,
because soul mates never fail
to keep their love alive.
A connection not to be torn apart,
beginning decades ago,
forged a bond between two hearts,
for love never fails.
More than once I’ve heard him say
that just mere minutes
either way
could have kept him from his beloved.
Mom and Dad – wedding day
forged a bond between two hearts….loverly. hugs!
