Forever in Love
During the war while the world fought and wept
A love was discovered when two young souls met
They found one another at a dance one clear night
Their hearts filled with hopes dreams and awe
And in their embrace they knew they had found
A passion for all to adore
He was her world and she was his
Together they were content
No matter how bad the hardship and turmoil
That daily life in those times meant
How much can a person love another
To measure it doesnt seem fair
But if one did attempt to judge their love
You couldnt find a more suited pair
Their love it would last a lifetime
It was so pure and selfless and bright
And it would prove to be an inspiration
To all those touched by its light
All the beauty in the world was reflected tenfold
When they would gaze into each others eyes
A love this beautiful that fills the soul
Never truly dies
And now he waits in heaven
Patiently for his bride
For one day when the time is right
To meet him by his side
And when their souls are reunited
The very Heavens will rejoice
And we’ll see the light so bright from Heaven
lighting up the world
This is dedicated to my beautiful grandmother Rose in memory of my grandfather Brian, who sadly passed away last month.
Their love truly has been inspirational aswell as the strength, passion and character they both possess.

It is comforting to know that a young soul can be inspired by a long lasting love from that began in the past. This is a most moving tribute to your grandparents.

Thankyou zfollweiler!
They have always been inspirational to me, in many ways.
the past has so many things that are good, that can be remembered and honoured and learnt from…
if it hadnt of been for their love for each other, i wouldnt exist…
if it hadnt of been for their love for their family, i wouldnt know their story, and what a beautiful story it was.

Beautiful creation and writing. I have a feeling there was more stability in love decades ago. Just seemed to be more honesty and integrity.
dimarie replied
Thankyou Tony!
I feel that way too sometimes about love in the old world vs love today… we all seem to complain so much about petty things these days, instead of focusing on what we have.
I know that I am very lucky these days, to have found someone who is honest and has integrity and a good heart and treats me well, and he is an awesome daddy to our girl…
but i look around and the world is full of pain and people alone and it saddens me so…
as we progress as a species, with technological advances and what not, are we becoming more lonely, more seperated from the person next to us…
I hope that my grandchildren will be inspired by my love in generations to come, that would be something to hope for…
thanx again for your lovely comments, i really appreciate it!

Very passionate words dmarie. Your guy sounds great. Integrity and honesty are so rare. I think that society has lost motivation with trust and love. Seems as though results and competing is what we most find easy to believe in. People who stay true to their hearts can really reverse this trend in my opinion.
