This is... Love

A bond that shrugs off the first blush
That grows through pain
That is nurtured by forgiveness
A bond that seeks balance
That defines life with the start of new life
That is fierce with devotion and tenderness
A bond that graduates to maturity
That is justified by success
That survives setback with determination
A bond that rests comfortably in silence
That celebrates the life of another
That finds peace in a touch
A bond that fosters faith in a shared eternity
With the one love and with the family
A bond that is nurtured with laughter

A bond relentless with hope
A bond that thrives on optimism
This is... Love.  Oh Yes it is!

Hi Tom,

These are beautiful sentiments. From everything you've written before, you've found this love, and I'm happy for you, and for your wife and family. I especially appreciate these lines:

"A bond... that celebrates the life of another, That finds peace in a touch..."
