Despite the nagging drone of modern life - <br />its pointless haste and competition; <br />despite depression, with its consequent <br />domestic strains and arguments - <br />this love survives. <br /> <br />Shrugging off the daily news that glares <br />from screens or from the papers, <br />and riding over rending tragedies <br />of relatives or friends who died too soon - <br />this love wins through. <br /> <br />Against all odds, this stubborn love fights on, <br />and warms cold night, <br />and lights grey dawn.<br /><br />Robert Melliard<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/this-love-wins-through/
