Strong Courageous Lovers

Poem written for contest

We are always lovers
Our lives forever intertwined
For love really does impart
Strength and Courage as Tzu opined

The benefits of our mutual love abound
Companionship, Procreation, Romance
Our love for one another grants us strength
Imparts rare courage, most profound

When life is at its most fearsome
The knowledge of our love
Gives us the courage to go on
Knowing we will never be alone

For another, one can be so strong
No matter the weight of life's burdens
Or the number of challenges it presents
Our love will last our whole lives long
