Poem Artwork
We’ve reached beyond the veil today
To find a life worth living
Despite whatever comes our way
We’ve reached beyond the veil today
And though some challenges dismay
And fear ignites misgivings
We’ve reached beyond the veil today
To find a life worth living
.
I’ve grown to understand your heart
And count myself so blest
No matter how we stop or start
I’ve grown to understand your heart
And though the wars force us apart
And leave us with no rest
I’ve grown to understand your heart
And count myself so blest
.
We choose to see through wisdom's eyes
When hardship kindles fear
And though there’s much that we despise
We choose to see through wisdom's eyes
And when confusions fingers try
To suffocate and smear
We choose to see through wisdom's eyes
When hardship kindles fear
.
In loves sweet sanctum we will praise
A kingdom not yet known
Avoiding all the worlds clichés
In loves sweet sanctum we will praise
And if someday the world downplays
The words and works we’ve sown
In loves sweet sanctum we’ll still praise
A kingdom not yet known
.
I’ll fight the wars again today
To keep our love enduring
Despite whatever comes our way
I’ll fight the wars again today
And though some challenges dismay
And hope draws back obscuring
I’ll fight the wars again today
To keep our love enduring
.

When one partner has to be the caregiver of another it certainly does cause stress in a relationship. Mine has been stressed a lot because my needs seem to increase almost daily. And she feels like she is the only one who can deal with them making it doubly hard.

I'm having three dozen roses sent to her just before Valentine's Day, hopefully to ease your mind that I really love what she does for me so seamlessly every day.

By these poems you share with Michelle you are doing the same thing.

A lovely tribute to the sanctity of marriage from first-hand experience. The triolet form works well for these sentiments and the use of repetition mesmerizing. Fine work here.

A very articulate reading, I truly like how you positioned your writings here. As I read each line and mentally understood each word I read I felt your love enduring.
I'll fight the wars again today seems to be a ritual of some kind or another. There doesn't seem to be much peace anymore so we have to find it any way we can. I appreciate the part about incorporating your lives with love along with it.
Enjoyed reading your treasure!
Hugs to you and yours,
Teresa
