    Not bad for a gnome

    see you still love your rhyming,

    I wonder if this type of love will be the norm in fifty years time, My kids feel the odd ones out at school because their mum and dad are still together.

    enjoyed reading this PP,

    Hello Peter,

    this is so very sad. I work supporting older people. It is often the case that a couple that have laughed, cried and loved together for a lifetime, showing ultimate loyalty have an unbreakable bond. One will pass and then the other will die usually within the same year. They want to die as life without their other half is not worth living.

    Well done on this wonderful rhyming dedication to loyalty.

    take care,

    Michael

      Thank you Michael for your kind comments.

      These days, the elderly are often the neglected ones in this fast moving world it seems, and when one dies, the other one often looses the will to live.

      Glad you liked the poem!

    A wonderful rhyming poem Peter - nice to see another member dedicated to the style! lol.
    As Darren says, a fading sort of love in the current climate, perhaps, which is so sad. On the other hand, what's better? A life of loneliness or the gut wrenching hurt when our partners die? I'll take the latter as I can't imagine a life without my wife......but it's not a wonderful choice, is it?
    All the very best

      Hi Ben,
      Many thanks for your nice comment.
      Yes, I hope that this sort of love doesn't fade out, that would be so sad.
      Your comment reminds me of something someone said once, 'It is better to of loved and lost, than not to of loved at all..'
      I agree, it can't be easy in such loving couples, when one of them dies leaving the other to live out life on their own. I shudder at that thought..
      Do you notice that the young people these days don't seem to hold hands anymore, certainly as my generation used to? Does make you wonder if they will ever enjoy such a close relationship as the old couple in my poem did...

    Hello Peter , this is a beautiful dedication to such a rare gem called love. This is the kind of love that most of us yearn for. But the undeniable truth is the deeper in love you are the separation is equally unbearable. the loneliness can tear you apart. It hurts to think about such a tragic ending.
    Thank you Peter.

      Thank you for your kind comments j nair.
      Yes, that is indeed true. The deeper in Love you are, the more painful the separation is when death comes calling.
      Thanks again for your comment.
