Love Is...

Another poem

Love is giving all you have 

to make their life complete

And never making promises 

you don't intend to keep

Love is sometimes letting go

in hopes that they'll return

And if it wasn't meant to be

hold on to what you've learned

Love is being by their side 

no matter what the cost

For without them your hopes 

and dreams are all but lost

Love is sometimes all we have

in a world so dark and cold

And need a place to warm ourselves

with someone there to hold

Love is having everything 

when you hold them in your arms

And taking every step you can 

to keep them safe from harm

Love is what I learn from you 

with each and every day

All my love I give to you 

and that will never fade

Love is what I needed most

to heal a shattered life

And all my dreams I found in you 

when you became my wife

I am certain this brought more than a tear to her eyes! Beautiful sentiment, and a most engaging read.

Thank you so much for the time to read and comment, it is very much appreciated.

It's such a lovely, free-flowing composition in Unmetered Quatrain form, with syntax as smooth as silk, virtually spot-on rhymes (a coupl'a slants in the penultimate and final verses), and imagery to touch the coldest and soften the most ridged hearts.
I do hope your sweet Wife was gifted a read of this enthrallingly-romantic honorarium, from her lovingly doting, admiring Hubby. : )
I really enjoy your knack for turning everyday verbiage into virtual masterpieces … I, too, often like to write in this mode.
Thank you, Poet, for a lovely moment shared upon your page! ⁓ Richard 🍃

PS: Quote: ".....anyone review around here anymore? lol"
Are you reviewing others and commenting on all your reviews(?) … some don't realize the Café is a quid pro quo site, and your readers will slack-off reviewing those who do not follow suite.

Thank you so much for that great review, it is very much appreciated.
As for the reviewing others.....not as much as I should, but I'm hoping to have the time in the next few days to do just that.
Again, thank you for that kind review
