Forever And A Day

Sweet wine and roses red .

Memories made of gold,

chisel lines set in stone.      

A pledge by us is made,

One of forever and a day.   

These words we spoke on our wedding day         

and a million times along life’s way.

A final pledge comes too soon  

and again from the heart I say to you; 

take my heart  and hold it near

and soon we’ll set by the living stream  

watching waves of forever   

crash into the Crystal Sea. 

And when for us the Heavens part .

Roses red and Heavens wine

seal a toast made on high.   

A pledge by us is now complete as

forever and a day becomes more

than a promise made.

This would make the most beautiful Hallmark card ever! So heartfelt. Wonderful words, Cherrie.

I'm afraid Matt has been given more homemade cards and or poems hidden in a shirt pocket than one person should be forced to read. :)
Thank you I tried to get hired on by Day Springs once but they weren't having it. Oh well 'sa la vie'

[William Michael Reeves]

Beautiful! Is the pledge forever together or is the pledge hidden in there. Waves of forever crashing into a crystal sea! What an amazing line! Beautiful poem Cherrie.

The pledge is for forever

[Coyote Poetry]

Forever and a day. We plant these words and we must work hard to keep them true. I enjoyed the description written, made the reader feel the weight of the promise. Thank you Cherrie for sharing the amazing poetry. I enjoyed these words.

I wrote this after my grandma died. Was thinking of her and my grandpa. At that point it was easy to fit Matt and I into eternity.
I guess most poetry is like that seeing life happening and then trying it on for size.

Cherry dear... a life full of roses and caring... thinking of the little things
that loving allows. Love is chiseled in stone when you become one.
Always willing to forgive and be forgiven. Your poetry fills a heart with
hopeful eternity. truly, Pat

[Cherrie Palmer]

Good morning Pat,
Thank you, if I can ever teach my kids one thing it would be the secret to love, is just the willingness to love and be loved.

[Patricia Wedel]

Yes, both need to be willing... like fishes learning to spawn... swimming up river together. Have a great day. As ever, Pat

Nice to see the benefits of marriage.
Why shouldn't it last forever?
Unfortunately these days, couples just walk away before the journey is even started.

[Cherrie Palmer]

I agree we live in a generation of convenience, where relationships are just disposable vessels for ego and babies' souls have no value.
With that said I must confess ir took me more than one try to get it right. :)

If at first you don't suceed.

[Lorry]

Well here I was, ready to be all cynical about how it only feels like forever, bit you won me over and this is indeed a beautiful thought.
Although to be honest, I didn't realize forever was eternal, as any time i've heard it, they usually come to their senses and leave after a fortnite. Nothing to do with me of course, I guess some women just don't consider coco pops for dinner a romantic meal for two :)

[Cherrie Palmer]

Well it's all in the presentation
put a blanket on the floor and of course a pillow or two (not the dogs pillow though) add a candle and maybe some fine classical music.
I know Bugs Bunny and Elmer have many fine selections to choose from and wa la.

[Lorry]

Not the dogs pillow? I guess using his blanket was a mistake too. And im guessing I was wrong to use ribena instead of red wine too :)

[Cherrie Palmer]

Lol.... awe but at least you're learning:)

[Lorry]

I did wear my big boy pants :)

[deeps]

very uplifting I like this

[Ron]

This is a superb poem. Crafted with such loving words. A salutory reminder as to what marriage and devotion can be. Should be compulsory raeding for the modern youth! Wonderful warm words.

[DeViouS]

This is a gorgeous life long love poem.

[Dream Weaver]

A bouquet of heartfelt musings.
each one better than the next..
