I'll Love You When Poem by Timber Koleden
I'll Love You When
I'll love you when your hair turns from fair to white
And I'll love you when your frame is old and slight
I'll love you when your brow is wrinkled and creased
And I'll love you when your breath has quiet ceased
I'll love you when you are wrapped in linen sheets
And I'll love you when you've been laid down to sleep
I'll love you when your soul's reached the bright'r shore
And I'll love you when I die and live no more
I'll love you when the stars fall from sky to earth
And I'll love you when days dark'n and light is dearth
I'll love you when the mount'ns crash down 'nto the sea
And I'll love you when the sky falls on ev'ry tree
I'll love you when all the clocks stop their ticking
And I'll love you when all the bells stop ringing
I'll love you when time stops to ne'er move again
And I'll love you when there is no when—I'll love you e'en then
Thank you Anjandev, Rob, Isadora, Rose Marie, and Mr. Barney for all your thoughtful comments! Glad you liked the poem!
I tried to leave a comment a few minutes ago, but the system never did tell me that it had been sent. Here we go again. This poem is excellent. Five stars and to my favorites.
Very evocative. The closure line says it all. A favorite!
Beautiful, beautiful poem. The recurring words in every line of the poem brilliantly depicts the eternality and great depth of love. So wonderfully crafted and executed write.
Not only does it sound like the love of a true lover, but it sounds like the love of the truest lover—our Savior! ! ! I certainly agree with Mr. Lamberton, I love the line "I'll love you when there is no when"
This poem has not been translated into any other language yet.
I would like to translate this poem
