This is a wonderful poem and it's so true, I know from experience.
However, please check your syllable count in your second line, I believe there's only six syllables. Please check before this lovely poem goes to the contest committee for approval.
Have a great week...Bill

Hi Bill, thank you for reading my poem. I am not sure how you counted though but here is what the second line reads:
This love isn't found, it's built. So I know what the problem is here. There are so many sites that debate syllables. And I have always counted isn't as two syllables, as many syllable counting sites do, but some say one.
So maybe what I should do is either claim it in my notes or else write is not and that might be better. So I thank you for your kind comment about this. I am not sure who is right here, but it never hurts to be cautious. So thanks again. You are so kind.

Hello,
Personally, I think "is not" sounds
and looks much better in this situation and the voters seem to thinks so also, right now your entry is on the way to winning this contest. There is a site called, Howmanysyllables.com that I downloaded and I've been using for years, it has never been wrong, so far.
Good luck on winning the contest...Bill

Well LOL, one thing for sure, Bill, nobody can debate the words is not being two syllables. So thank you again. I will stick to How many syllables..com for now on and not trust the other sites.

thanks for a true love poem, yes you're right: soul mates are inseparable til death and beyond, and the love of those who endured all the best moments as well as the worst together for a life time, is eternal and unconditional,
Best wishes and God bless You,
Sarah

Comment from Michele Harber
What a lovely and accurate description of true love that has, as you said, "endured the test of time." I particularly appreciate the line, "this love isn't found, it's built." As one whose love has been built up over 30 years, I couldn't agree with you more. Good luck in the contest.

Comment from nomi338
I can relate and attest to this statement. At the time of my wife's death a few days ago, we had been happily married for 51 years. As a matter of fact she died just two days after we celebrated our fifty first anniversary.
We never separated during all that time. We knew each other so well that surprising either one of us was virtually impossible. I gave up trying, besides I lost any desire to even try to keep anything a secret from her.

You were a good husband, Nomi and I am proud to call you a friend. I know how hard it is to be without her, but please remember that you have your children and so many of us here that are in your corner. God bless you, and I pray for you daily. Thanks for the comments.

May God bless you eternally. Thank you so much for your kind comments.

Comment from Colorado Owl
What a touching and true poem! The picture is so sweet and depicts the type of love most of us can only dream of. It takes work to make love last a lifetime. Very well done. Thank you.

Comment from karenina
I'd say I'm officially in the age group that can say through life's experience this is true, true, true!
We don't get to experience this without some give-and-take, compromise, and a healthy dose of compassion.
When our "true love's" happiness is as important to us as our own, both parties win!

Well there has to be something to be said for whatever age we are at.. LOL.

My pleasure...
Comment from zanya
Now this 5/7/5 format poem for the contest should make it to the winner's enclosure. Love, so often, in our times is portrayed as red hot or puppy love. But here we have the vintage version 'endured test of time.'
Exquisite pic!
