LOVE IS FOREVER 
Love is not some fragile thing 
that parting can somehow sever. 
Love that's true dwells within 
Living on and on forever. 
Through the years, love sincere 
Grows stronger day by day. 
Though the one who is dearly loved 
May be many miles away. 
A certain word or a special/ song, 
Though memories off grow dim. 
Love will suddenly stir the soul 
And come rushing back again. 
GLADYS ADKINS 
I thank my God upon every 
remembrance of you. (Phil 1:3)
