Once upon a never time,
where nevers played,
and made never rhymes,
ever seemed totally out.

For in this never land,
it was never time,
for ever to even appear,
or even to give a dime.

And all the other nevers,
never seemed to like him,
ever was just not clever
as the other nevers were.

Never was it time here,
for ever to have his time,
legislature made it so,
it would ever be a crime.

In the never future lay,
never a time of hope,
but ever didn't despair,
he never sat and moped.

For not every whatsoever,
was unkind to him,
and to his endeavor,
forever seemed his friend.

For forever and ever,
never seemed to disagree,
forever was a companion,
(his nickname: soon to be)

He spoke of ever time,
in the distant wind,
which tempus would climb,
to make forever ever then.

BRAVO!!! Yes, yes, may we all never say never again and celebrate the meaning of forever ever more! (big hugggssssss) This is absolutely delightful, sweet friend, the repetition in this poem is excellent and emphasizes so much, we all love you so much! You have such a beautiful heart, sweet Derek, thank you for sharing!



May love and light always shine upon you!

Love,
Noah Eaton
