Listening to every heart

Long shadows

Long shadows greet our early morn
As promise stretches this, our day.
So, kiss me sweet good morn and bless
Our golden trails that lay
Before us like a promise, kept
Then dry the tears that might be wept.

Long shadows greet our early dusk
No matter, stature does not mind,
For looming lengthy is this love
Where two in blend shall bind,
Before us is the promise, kept
Long gone are tears that were once wept.

Trust long shadows of two who stand
To greet days come nights, hand in hand.

~*~

In honor of a couple
who celebrate 40 years
of love and compromise...

Happy Anniversary, J&M

What beautiful words of love you have penned for a special couple.
May I take a second to wish them a very Happy Anniversary as well.

sharing compromise is much much better then giving beliefs away...good concept, as well as a lovely picture which shares the idea.  Thank you Sunshine

"Before us is the promise, kept
Long gone are tears that were once wept."

This has such a confident outlook on the future,
you evoke great happiness within this poem.


Kind Regards to the happy couple!

A lovely tribute Karilea...
