It is not unfamiliar
          to lose a Love that
We Know
Will
Be Everlasting.

The crazy days of our Youth
when we met upon the church steps
Like the blood of Jesus
We thought
That
Our Love
would
Be Everlasting.

And Sacred.

Our Hands held together
By a Love
that we thought
would
Be Everlasting.

But sadness came
Like the shift of the Ocean Winds
              Unknown to our Open Hearts
Filled with a Love.

That night as the wind blew across the South Dakota Plains and we watched star -filled night

ILLUMINATING
                                OUR SOULS.
WE KNEW
That our Love
could Never
Be Everlasting!
