A love that withstood time and trials is stable and endearing, pens Sarala, in this poem, exclusively for Different Truths.
This love did not happen yesterday It took years to understand each other This love withstood many trials From all sides But we boldly faced all without fear This love is divine and pure We cannot do without each other We are two bodies and one soul today We have no arguments We hold each other in trust sublime No one can intervene in our love It's our heart's desire How sweet is this love, how blessed are we! Everyone envies us with evil eyes But our love for each other Is too difficult to break As we nurtured this love For years from the core of our hearts This love is patient This love endures This love weeps And smiles many a time God in his mercy has blessed us For happiness forever We have little means But we are happy with what we have We don't envy our rich friends We give them solace when they are In trouble This love is noble at heart and charity we do give This love is no ordinary love It's above all trivial issues we face and happiness invades our hearts forever, never to leave us in this life!
