Forever

I wrote this poem to Krystal as I thought upon how quickly everything in this life seems to pass away. So, no matter how good or how bad life is at this point, don't get too used to it, because things will never remain the same. Life is a roller coaster ride from start to finish!

Forever

The crimson blossoms of spring make the air sweet
until a light breeze sweeps them from under your feet

Fresh fallen snow covers a dull and dreary earth,
creating a short-lived vision of purity and rebirth.

The beauties of the heavens can be seen overhead,
breathtaking sunsets of pink, ginger, and red.

The green grass of summer and golden leaves of fall,
a baby’s soft hands, so delicate, so small.

These beauties of life dance before your face.
they arrive in an instant then vanish without a trace.

Does anything last? Does anything endure?
Must all rot away? Must all leave today?

There is one thing that will never be dimmed
by the passing of time or the rushing of wind.

It is the love I feel for you every day, every hour
love which will forever grow like an ardent flower.

Because in God’s temple we were sealed forever
and promised a wonderful eternity together.
