This is really beautiful, a lovely testimony to true and everlasting love. I like love poems that offer true feelings and this one did just that. It felt real to me. Best of luck in the contest.

An old-fashioned love poem and no one can argue with that. It has great rhyming and flow. This is a super entry for the love poem contest. Good luck!

I've often wondered if there truly is such thing as love at first sight. But so many times being told to trust our instincts, I guess it's a definite probability. LOL. Thanks for sharing.

"Amen", to finish a poem. Interesting choice of word. I can sense your deep love for your wife and that is a magical and beautiful thing. Thankyou for sharing your thoughts and life experience.

This sonnet, Love at First Sight, has the proper formatting and gives assurance to the listener that love is real, affirmed each day, and will be known through eternity. Nice.

This is a beautiful love poem in sonnet form - well done. The rhythm is good throughout and so is the rhyming. The only thing I would change is that you have used stroll twice - once in the first stanza and once in the second. I would have picked a different word so as not to repeat myself.
Good luck with it

A very lovely sonnet! Really!! Your love and devotion are beautifully written... but, I would mention that in the third stanza, fourth line the verb seems to be wrong... would you mean ... 'have' led my way? Just an observation. Hugs!!

A lovely poem that describes a deep an intimate love that stretched from the moment of first glance though the pathways of life and marriage. A love that is so strong that even as the poet may one day find eternal rest, his bride will always be on his heart being led to him. A beautifully structured poem, true to its form and heartfelt.

Indeed, love is ever changing and growing, and you show this with the poem very well. If you do decide to rework this poem a little, I would look at your last stanza. Because of the rules it sounds good, but I think it would have more impact if changed up a little. The at once; indeed, again just didn't feel a progression with the feelings. But for the contest it does very well.
