I AM Love

My first  poem of the year. 

I am Love.

I was there the first time they met.

I was there when they shared a first kiss.

I was there when they walked in the rain.

I am Love, I remain.

I was there when they played in the snow.

I was there when they danced through the night.

I was there when they finally admitted me.

I am Love, I remain.

I was there when they talked of the future.

I was there when they had their first fight.

I was there when they parted for a time.

I am Love, I remain.

I was there when they forgave and forgot.

I was there when they went to the church.

I was there when they exchanged the vows.

I am Love, I remain.

I was there when the first child was born.

I was there when the second child came.

I was there for years as they grew.

I am Love, I remain.

I am here as the years slip away.

I am here as the passions slow down.

I am here as they age and grow old.

I am Love, I remain.

I'll be there as they pass on to glory.

I'll be there long after they're gone.

I'll be there to start a new story.

I am Love, I remain.
