I have stood the test of time
firm without fear,
although many storms passed me by;
I stand upright without a care.
I felt the breeze of days gone by,
I 've shed a million tears;
I 've lost many that I have loved,
and watched as new life appears.
I now embrace what is to be,
unmovable but free;
I stand firm and accept
unpredictability.

Resolute...!
Nice little twist in the tale there my friend
'I stand firm and accept unpredictability!'
And I add;
"Yes, what ere' may befall
In your love, I stand tall!"
Beautiful, there is ultimate strength
in love

Exquisite!!
Pisces, you have really just taken off haven't you? Your words echo off the walls of my skull and seep deep in my brain. They compell my soul to spread its wings in the rain. This was - IS - a marvelous, complelling piece that you've penned here. I love it! My favorite lines are:
"I have stood the test of time
firm without fear,
although many storms passed me by;
I stand upright without a care."
Cheers and I'm so glad that you shared it.

Oh, that's not all together true. You know, we'll all be together one day. Funny, we'll never meet on this world, but one day, someone will walk up to me in the new Jerusalem and say hello.
