Broken Heart

When I see the raw dark seering pain of my mom having lost the great love of her life, my dad.
See the millionth tear fall.
Cradled in agony days.
Internally, I ask....
Is true love worth that soul stabbing pain?

I believe it is.
 It feels like every moment of love, of pure joy, is met down the line with double the moments of heart tearing suffering.

For 47 years together of happiness & love, yes I would endure the suffering.....
