Hour 3<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
Prompt 3:\u00a0 There are three stanzas. Each stanza is followed by a refrain (so the same statement is repeated three times).The first stanza is 6 lines long and presents a problem. The second stanza is eight lines long, and can explore or expand the problem. The third stanza is 6 lines long, and can either present a solution or document a failed attempt to resolve the issue.<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
Will I love You Forever?<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
You were so unexpected.<\/p>\n
How could I possibly be prepared to find my soul mate<\/p>\n
in such a crazy place, in such a crazy way?<\/p>\n
Instant attraction, and so much more,<\/p>\n
As you shared your story, we cried together.<\/p>\n
But I saw the family photo on your desk.<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
Will I love you forever?<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
Connection overload<\/p>\n
spiritually, emotionally, attractionally<\/p>\n
white hot passion.<\/p>\n
But you were not free, not for me.<\/p>\n
I wept all the way back to campus,<\/p>\n
Yelling at God:<\/p>\n
How could you do this? Why?<\/p>\n
Show him to me, but dangling him out of reach?<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
Will I love you forever?<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
Life moved on, we became friends, always careful friends.<\/p>\n
Then, wonder of wonders, nine years later<\/p>\n
you reached out to me \u2014 you had felt it too!<\/p>\n
How amazing when I saw the love in your eyes<\/p>\n
the first kiss, spirits dancing to Creator\u2019s music,<\/p>\n
hearts connected just holding hands at Panera.<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
Will I love you forever?<\/p>\n
