    Bravo,
    Words elude me Mr. Chamberlin to properly comment your attestment of Love! I do find your Poem going into my favorites.
    Though in the last verse, line 14._____

    I'll travel with her anywhere
    longer than I am mortal man;
    let me go down with this prayer:
    spend with her more than one life span;
    now and ever more I'll swear
    was not 'fore life with her began.

    Longer than spans both times,
    so long times are gone.

    Peace and Blessings

      Thanks
      I agree that line is stilted.
      I need to rework it but it needs to stay 8 syllables

    I'll travel with her anywhere
    so long as I am mortal man;

    ^ doesn't it need an A? So long as I'm a mortal man?

      Not for the meaning I wanted to convey: "am mortal man" is the universal state versus the individual instance of one lifetime

    True, the meaning would change.

    Mr. Larry my suggestion is ... you should place this poem under miscellaneous or under life's category under inspiration that way someone can nominate it. Sadly enough, I still can't. But I feel this poem can inspire others and that it should be read by others. I just love the tender tone in this poem and the last stanza is the one I like the most, but I also like how you observe her in the second stanza, and how you describe how she walks. It's beautiful.

    Edit: Plus... I cannot offer this poem to be nominated under the Suggestions for nominated poems Thread... because it seems I cannot comment on a thread that is over 180 days without being used.

    A husband's unending love for his wife is beautifully penned to show not only his feelings for her but also the beauty and grace of his wife.
    Lovely work!
