For many of us, when we meet that perfect one, that person that makes us ecstatic to get out of bed in the morning, that person who just makes us smile constantly, that person we know will be there for us no matter what—we never want to let that person go. True love is the inspiration for Alberta Gray-Simpkins’ poetry.

We need to remind ourselves to never give up on finding true love, and when we find true love we need to cherish every moment. Love, peace, and happiness are beautiful ingredients for our soul.
