A roller coaster journey of love through its different phases.
From my teenage years to when I was 50 years old, love and romance had come and gone in and out of my life. Now I choose to reminisce about the good times when I was in love rather than dwell on the bad. Through all my love experiences, I have known true love, and I still hope to find it again, just as my father did at 75. Well, I don’t want to wait that long! The young woman I was, entering my first marriage, now seems like a stranger to me. I have matured and mellowed, wised up, forgiven myself, and left the past behind me.
The journey of love has many facets, like making a diamond – it is dug out of the dirt where it was found, then cleansed, cut and refined to finally sparkle in brilliance and shine forth happiness. Beverley Joy.
Listen HERE – Poem – The Journey of True Love
Our journey of love from babe to old age
Loving and being loved. Holding and being held.
Protecting and feeling safe.
True love provides a witness to our life
It says you matter, you were here,
“I watched you, I accepted you. I ‘get’ you.”
True love warms our hearts
Love, fragile as fine china
Love strengthens our resolve
Priceless as diamonds and gold.
The journey of love is like that of a rose
Love grows from bud to full bloom
Then, loving memories are kept as a potpourri to treasure forever.
