When they fell in love,
he promised here
he’d never leave her
The hugs, the kisses,
the caresses, the hands
held, a romance like heaven
Three years past, a love
that would last until she
contracted a chronic
disease that rendered her
unable to walk and the man
who vowed to never leave her
who promised he’d love her
forever, exited her life just
when she needed him most
Bob Boyd
