Love Lives On Some say that true love only lives to die But I know loves lives on, I know it I It’s there in the touch of summer sun The warmth of hope that has just begun When eyes meet across time and space Love smiles again, I feel its grace Within my soul I feel hope rise anew And yet I still have the touch of you My true love hasn’t gone he lives still I feel his touch, and I always will But now he’s guided me to this place Where I can feel hope’s renewing trace Love beckons me to take its hand To learn its truth and to understand That love never leaves those who know To walk in light and let hope grow In faith I thought love had left me When my true love died so tragically That even though I held to his trace I had lost the light from love’s sweet face But love doesn’t die or fade away It lives on, it’s within each new day Its touch lights my eyes once more I know that love lives on as it did before Love lives on, I can feel hope calling me And I’ll walk in love’s light eternally Marsha Tomorrow is another day I don't know what it holds |

Mushy, remember this...you have had the opportunity to experience something. On one hand, the most beautiful thing of your life, next to the birth of your children... And on the other hand, the tragic loss of someone very close to you... You were given both, hopefully that you can understand the richness of what you have and have held. Death never puts a smile on one's face, only tears...But if death brings peace to one who is dying...then death will bring a smile once we understand... Hugs to ya my friend... |

I liked this not only for the poetic sense but for the tenderness of words you chose. Love does live on, and in some cases it dies and is rekindled over and over again. As with the case with me, but that's for another time, another place. Peace. "Life is not measured by the moments we take,but by the moments that take our breaths away." -Author Unkown. |

Love never dies...love is in the air, for us, by us and waiting for us to discover it...we are most incredibly loved, and this poem is a poem of a very gentle poet...lovely walk through the clouds... |

(smiles) Oh Marsha, this is beautiful and so very true, dearest friend, don't listen to those people who say that, they obviously are pessimists and fail to see the spiritual semblance of what love can bring! (big hugggsssssss) God Bless You, sweet friend, we all love you so much! You have such a beautiful heart, sweet Marsha, thank you for sharing! May love and light always shine upon you! Love, Noah Eaton Underneath your clothes, there's an endless story |

No, it doesn't die, Mushy. It changes from active to passive but it retains all of the luster and fervor it always had. It nestles in a special place to be brought out in special moments of rememberance and thanks...love lives on  |
