(turned out to be much tougher than I thought it would be)

Many times I think of you as through life I gO
Yesterday, today and tomorrow it's yoU
Lost in this world, you ever and eveR
O'er this land, your beauty eternaL
Voicing my love and you know it is sO
Ever you're giving, I'm no more a spiV
Soft is your voice, my spirit runs freE
Everywhere that I go, you are part of mE
Together we'll weather, midnight or nooN
Ephemeral it may be, but our love not doomeD
Returning each day, pure white not ecrU
Nothing can stop us we'll top disasteR
A passion, a love whose first word is givE
Laying beside you, no thought can surpasS

You certainly get an A+ from this corner !
That is remarkably well done.

Wilfred you make it look so easy. How you do that?

but it is the loss that shapes the image,
gathers the flowers weaves the garland."-

This presents a new challenge. I had never heard of a double acrostic, and I don't know how you did it.
Wonderful!

Bill--I know this must have been hard, I did a single arostic once and it was hard...you have done it so well...and it's a beautiful poem.

Wow!  Beautiful!  I commend you for taking on such a difficult task.  Not only did you succeed, but I am in awe at the amazing outcome, you crafted a masterpiece.  You should be very proud of this double acrostic!  

Take care,

Forgive me all for not replying individually - Simply let me say thank you all from the bottom of my heart - (maybe I'll try an acrostic sonnet now ~LOL)
