Love Poem: Forevermore and Eternally

Forevermore and Eternally

There are many kinds of love and adoration, Each one amazing, beautiful and remarkable; But there is one pure, untainted and true love. The unconditional, unrestricted love of a pet They come into our lives quietly and gently, And without warning they capture our hearts; Be it a cat, dog, bird, it does not matter really. There is no secret covert protection to stop it And whether it be a short time or many years, We are shattered when they quietly leave us; With a whisper they are gone to another place. And we are left empty, hollow and heartbroken The price of this pure and true genuine love, Is the agony, the aching of grief and the tears; This is a love that endures and prevails beyond. And with the sorrow, the happiness dwells also "Sealed in our hearts forevermore and eternally." ____________________________ August 2, 2014 Poetry/Verse/Forevermore and Eternally Copyright Protected, ID 08-588-233-02 All Rights Reserved, 2014, Constance La France Written for the Standard contest, A True Love Poem, sponsor Poet Destroyer, Judged 08/2014 First Place
