The One Constant
Tombstones contain
words so easily worn
by weather and time
The tides ebb & flow
may eventually wash
away your words too
But there will always
be that one constant
the things I feel for you
Allie emailed me this photo in 2010. One of my treasured memories during that difficult period of our long distance romance.
Love this and the picture too. I can easily understand why this would be a treasured memory. Smiles.
