Those We Love

This sonnet celebrates the power of the emotional bonds we create throughout life, those that envelop us with warmth and affection, especially in the most challenging moments. Love, whether between friends or family, becomes the guiding thread that sustains us and gives us strength.

The brevity of life reminds us to value these moments of affection, because they are what truly immortalize us. Each hug and gesture of affection represents an emotional eternity, where time cannot erase what was built in the hearts of those we love.

In the arms of affection, an eternal bond,
A warm, sweet and tender embrace,
Enveloping hearts in the middle of winter,
Love that shines, pure, even internal.

By our faithful side, the friend so loyal,
With eyes that reveal such affection,
Bringing peace in the midst of the storm,
Eternalizing moments in the newspaper.

Life is brief, it passes in a second,
And it is in love that we find the depths,
Holding tight those we love.

For these are the bonds that time weaves,
In the hands of affection, life is exalted,
And in each embrace, we become eternal.
