It's odd...everyone always talk about wanting to "fall in love".That's not even the good part...that's the test.The good part is your reward...the everlasting comfort of being loved and befriended by that one person that you need to breathe.


All Our Lives

All our lives, we'll be in love.
For now we're still so young.
Ever changing buds of life,
with so much left undone.

All our lives, we'll be as one;
bonded through the storms
of growing old in a world
that longs to see us torn.

All our lives, in eachother's eyes,
we'll gaze in awe and see
the wonderful things we know
that no one else could be.

In countless moons, when we're aged
and battle scarred all over
you'll help me to bed at night
and share with me your cover.

In those years, when we're old
and pray our lives we keep,
I'll kiss your cheek, brush your pretty hair and sing you softly to sleep.

We've not drank from the fountain
that keeps our hair or flesh
free from showing signs of what
our bodies may have left.
Yet our hearts and our minds
will forever be revived
by the youthful wonder of love
that's been there all our lives.

J.H.

Curse not upon love, for it is the greatest of great things. Be it not love that curses you....but thy lack thereof. -J.D.H.

Hey~ been a loooong time since I've read anything from you.  Breath-takingly wonderful as usual.  Your poems always held such meaning and they could touch anyone in one way or another.  I see nothing's changed keep up the great work
