Eternal Devotion (Redux)

Devotion for his sweetheart,
He stood close by her side,
And held her hand through
Good and bad,
His love he would never hide,

When she gave him children,
He upheld his part,
And held their hands through
Good and bad,
And loved them with all his heart,

With all the years together,
He doted on his bride,
And held her hand through
Good and bad,
Just to be close by her side,

Then her body weakened,
He pushed her to be strong,
And held her hand through
Good and bad,
But knew they wouldn’t have long,

Devotion for his sweetheart,
He loved this woman so,
And held her hand
The day she died,
He could not let her go,

Now by her grave he whispers,
When I get to the other side,
I’ll hold your hand
Through Eternity,
Forever you’ll be my Bride.

Sometimes life seems to move so fast, like in your lovely poem. Suddenly we are through ...
But the thought of standing at the grave of the beloved with such a sincere language of the heart, makes us appreciate the gift of a lifetime.
Beautiful eternal devotion!

Love,
Margherita

I'm a firm believer:
true love NEVER fades

and it will be there in the final end.
Sweetly penned!
