                       I see you in my thoughts and dreams,               Ten years, a husband
                       When I awake, how real it seems.                   To you, my Darling Wife.
                       You aren't here to comfort me,                     A gentle hand, a smile,
                       But soon I hope you will be.                       Changed the way of life.

                       No one truly knows or understands;                 Into this we came,

                       You have my heart in your hands.                   So cautious, so burned.
                       My love is what you truly own.                     Fate in the stars, maybe,

                       Come soon and make our house a home.               As love unfurled.

                       Inside those walls you are doing your time,        From past ashes,
                       Not being here with me is your only true           An everlasting flower
                       crime.                                             Began full bloom,
                       Others in your life will come and go,              Continues to tower.
                       But my love is true, and I'm sure you know.
                                                                          How do we define it,
                       I may not be rich or the prettiest one,            A bond so strong?
                       But I love you so much; you are my sun.            An infinite meaning -
                       You light up my life every time you call.          That word, four letters

                       When the time is up, I begin to fall.              long.


                       You are my stars, you are my moon,                 Here to say thanks
                       Being with you will come very soon.                For life rerun -
                       So when you sleep, take this to heart,             The family, the children
                       No one or nothing will keep us apart.              We share as one.

                                                                          Ten years? Not enough -
                                                                          Decades more to follow
                                                                          To enjoy the adventure,
                       Discussion                                         So let the river flow...

                                                                            One thing in life

                       1.  What do you think about the three poems        Remains constant, true.
                           that you have read?                            Unquestionably,

                       2.  What are the poems about?                      undeniably...
                                                                          I love you.
                       3.  What are their differences?
                       4.  Which one is your favourite? Why?
                       5.  What moral can you learn from the poems?

                                                                        Taken from: https://www.familyfriendpoems.com

                                                     The moral of  a  story  is  the  lesson  that  story
                                                     teaches  about  how  to  behave  in  the  world.

                                                     Moral comes  from  the  Latin  word mores,  for
                                                     habits. The moral of a story is supposed to teach

                                                     you how to be a better person. If moral is used
                                                     as an adjective, it means good, or ethical.
