Nicely done, AmyJo. You've met the prompt, handily.

True Love is such a gift, lifelong and emotionally nourishing. You've written about this kind of love with great care.

This free verse poem follows the prescription of Shape, whereby your couplets follow the patterns of contrast for half of them, and parallelism for the other half. King David often followed this form of expression in the Psalms. You're in good company.

The love shared by two partners throughout Life, that is founded on the Love that the Lord gives is a Joy that can't be fully expressed in words.

Blessings Always, Sis, to you and yours. Again, well done! WRITE ON!

Jay
