Patient Love

Him and her,

together as one soul, mind, and heart.

Living as life-partners,

distressed if ever apart.

The life they live is simple,

they talk, make love, and connect.

Even after twenty strong years,

they rarely show disrespect.

The couple lives in harmony,

like music at Sunday mass.

They tell each other everything,

including stories from the past.

Their love was never ordinary,

but to them it was perfection.

Their vulnerable souls mature,

increasing the deep connection.

His touch is soft and gentle,

destroying past emotional pain.

Her smell is truly breath-taking,

like the morning after a big rain.

They sacrificed their freedom,

promising commitment to the end.

Their love will always be remembered,

even in Heaven where they’ll ascend.

They’re each others’ angels,

walking in the light together.

The values they share with their mate,

confirm their love will be forever.
