Tu fais toute la difference mon amour.




You make the difference

Twisted love tainted the innocence of everyday

Sombre shadows, perfect, unwanted hideaway

Pressed hard against memory's force

Life's river insistant bored the same old course

Spirit assaulted but never assailed

Dreams eroded but hope still prevailed

Challenges impasse so many to face

Yet your heart remains gentle

No malice to trace

A strength beyond measure

To protect those you held dear

A commitment you made

That has lasted the years.

 

A delicate soul woven with grace

My heart it will cherish

Till I am called from this place.

C'est drôle, j'ai récemment dit la même chose à ma douce moitié à propos qu'elle fait toute la différence ;) This is so tender and loving, makes a heart smile smiling sighs - mine is certainly doing that reading this beautiful poem :)

This is a beautiful write of strength and endurance.
Among many good lines, I liked these,

"Dreams eroded but hope still prevailed

Challenges impasse so many to face

Yet your heart remains gentle

No malice to trace"

A tribute to a true love.
