When all is said and all is done <br />and all is lost or something won. <br />When time has passed or future comes <br />and life expires or new babies born. <br />When sun shines bright or clouds obscure <br />and we see clear or feel unsure. <br />When we are forgot or remembered dear <br />and feel lonely or full of cheer. <br /> <br />One thing is constant, <br />neither comes nor goes. <br />That love remains, <br />not one that binds and holds. <br />That love remains <br />in which true freedom reigns. <br />Throughout all that was said and done <br />whatever lost, whatever won.<br /><br />David Taylor<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/not-if-but-when-2/
