Love Eternal
written by: Jane Bradshaw
What is the standard for love?
For friendship, loyalty, and kindness?
Do any of us really know?
I tend to think no.
We are not all seeing, like God
We are not infallible.
Or predictable.
We are meager beings.
Filled with inadequacies.
Conflictions and limitations.
But even with these flaws.
We are capable of love.
We can show selflessness.
And compassion.
I choose to believe in great love.
And when I do go.
I will always be a voice in your ear.
And a beat in your heart.
Love will pass from this realm.
Into the next.
And it will wait patiently.
Till we are united again.

Jane hails from the distant shores of Darwin, in the Northern Territory of Australia. She has lived there all her life and has raised three young Adults. After 7 years as a Loans Officer and 6 years as a Rates Officer Jane found herself at university, studying to be a Primary School Teacher. Now in her fifteenth year of teaching, she has dropped all the way down to teach preschool children. They certainly keep her fit, active, and on her toes. Jane has been a part of a poetry writing group for over three years and a short story writing group for over two years. Her passion for writing began in high school. She writes because she must. She has been published in four Anthologies now, and one day she hopes to have her own collection of poems and a novella published.
