An Ode To Love

Poem Illustration
Love, in its most enduring form, weaves a tapestry of connection that defies time's attempts to unravel its threads. This sonnet is a personal reflection on the timeless nature of love, celebrating its ability to flourish despite the odds. With an optimistic heart, it deeply acknowledges the shared journey of two souls, a journey that resonates with many who continue to find solace and joy in each other's presence. Join us in this heartfelt exploration of a love that remains steadfast, a beacon of hope and promise for the future.
In years gone by, they said we'd drift apart,
That love like ours would surely lose its flame.
Yet here we stand, still heart to beating heart,
More in love than when we first did claim.

Through joy and sorrow, we have shared our days,
Laughter echoed, and our tears mixed.
Each sunrise brings a thankful, loving gaze,
For in each other, life's best gift is fixed.

Looking back, our journey's woven tight,
A tapestry of moments, love's pure art.
With every passing year, our bond grows right,
And eager are our souls for what will start.

Forever together, our love stands true,
Future's promise, in each other, we view.
