What is truly
forever, I wondered
as a child. I thought
it meant mother and
father would
lived their days
together with me
but they went
their separt
ways. What is
truly forever, i wondered
when i was in
my grandparents
arms in such warmth
but soon they turned so cold
and numb. What
is truly forever,
I wondered as I played
thru the nights with
friends that I
could trust
yet betrayed, deserted
me when
things went south. What
was truly forever,
I wondered when my heart
was lifted
in splendor
of the love we shared
that made me
truly believe that
this could
be forever. But
alas even you trailed
your way from this love
we bared,
that's when I truly
relized
that forever can't
always stay. But
I will try my best
to hold on to this
word for
forever's
sake.

As Peggy Lee said once upon a time, "Is that all there is to that?" You said it almost as well, if not better.

Our thoughts
