When Will Forever End
Boundless love lets its own life stay
Everlasting day after day;
Remaining in its timeless way.
Never will it stop nor delay;
Always giving joy to the gray!
Dateless love lets its own heart beat
Infinitely in rhyme so sweet.
Zone of ageless care so complete
Offers embrace with warmth or heat;
Nullifying the cold conceit!
