A Never-Forever Promise

Never will I forget~
Forever I will remember.

Never will I stop loving you~
Forever I will love you.

Never will I let our love die~
Forever it will stay alive inside of me.

Never will I truly be alone~
Forever, I will carry our few moments with me.

Never is a promise you made me~
Forever I will cherish that promise made.

Forever as I walk through life~
Never do I have to fear.

Forever now, when life seems too hard, I know that
Never will I be alone.

Never is a promise you made me and
Forever I will carry it with me.

Author notes

This was inspired by a conversation I had once with our beloved lion.

      Thanks hon, for a wonderful comment...But this came from a conversation that I had with someone else. My husband has no kind of sentiment in his body, never mind his little finger but I love him....

    never and forever, quite a concept...I think you have done well here the only thing that I think, perhaps, should be changed...is this line "Never I will be alone"= Never will I be alone"..that just works better for me. best of luck Freda

    wow...what a happy sounding poem until you reach the last 2 lines:
    "Never is a promise you made me and
    Forever I will carry it with me."
    what a brooding and horrifying piece. all i can really say is wow...not that i didn't like it. in fact the other way around-i loved it.

    He has left such an emptiness, I guess poems will be written for him for a long time yet

    I love how this shows the dichotomy of life and how both sides can mean the same beautiful message, there is no negative to fear in words of love. Well done.

    ANOTHER FINE TRIBUTE TO LIONHEART - A TRUE KING OF HEARTS.

    Forever now, when life seems to hard, I know that
    Never I will be alone.

    I think to in the first verse should be spelled too with 2 oo's. Otherwise and despite of that pesky little typo as I often make - this is another fine tribute and shining example of your love for Lionsheart who everyone who knows you on or reads this on AP can plainly see will live in you forever - on earth and in heaven, too - when that day arrives. Lionheart will be alive in you and in the hearts and souls of all those that he touched with his words and deedsbeyond the end of time.
    Peace & Love!
    Earl.

    I just got a chill down my spine... This was filled with emotion and the message carried across, crystal clear... This was just... WOW (I still can't find a word)...

    Keep that pen of yours flowing sis...
    With ink that never fade...

    Love you always...

    Meraviglioso!

    I am not that into "love poetry", mainly because its really hard for me to write it. I envy those that can write good love literature! But I must say this was very elegantly written. The mix of positive and negative was simply amazing. Keep up the great work. Your lines "Forever now, when life seems to hard, I know that Never I will be alone" is such a great line. Even though there is much confusion in whatever you would call my relationship... I really love this and its kind of how I feel. Wonderfully written and... Simply I am at a loss for words. Sounds like wedding vows or loves last words. This is just great!! I would love to share this with everyone. If you wouldn't mind, could I send the link to this poem to a couple friends?

    Amo questo poem. Continuare il buon lavoro.

    this is really sweet. i like your never/forever perspective that brings both words into positive meaning. although i don't quite understand why you cherish the promise of never, i think this is very quaint and pretty.

    Interesting usage of negative and positive influences. Though I'm not much a love poetry fan (ok, I'm not a fan at all) yours seems decent. It would suffice brilliantly for wedding vows, methinks.
    Keep writing!

    Never and forever as powerful words. If you can keep such promises you are noble and strong. We think of the ones that have passed on more and more.

    well I must say after just reading your husbands newest post, then coming directly to here I had tears in my eyes by the time I got to your authors notes... the two of you are gonna give me heart failure, was sure they were coinciding with one another. Now having regained my senses... this is an extra special write as it was inspired by a true gentle heart. Lion will live on forever through many of our writes, he taught so many of us so many things. Very nice write dear.

    Perfect poem! I LOVE the way you say "forever" and then "never".
    The title almost seemed contradictory until I read it, then the whole beautiful poem came and I saw it all! I love it!
