I think punctuation either applies or doesn't apply to poetry. This format requires a little revision, in my opinion, for that missing punctuation. Here are my suggestions:

For those who care,
(w)ho with Love give and share(;)
For those who try,
(w)hose cuts are deep(,) and yet get by,
(l)ife is sweet(;) it's a special treat(x)
to know you are there(;)
Some Love we will share.

For those who care,
who with Love give and share(;)
There is no greed(;) we fullfill each need,
(b)ecause you are the one(;)
We have such fun(;)
And if we fight, no one was right.
Our love is so deep,
(a) bond we will keep(;)
For those who care,
(w)e will always be there.


I know these are a lot of changes, but I feel these revisions clarify how this should be read. Commas have one purpose and semicolons another. One can't be the other. Periods are a toss up because a thought ends in the middle of a stanza, but the statement goes on.

Of course, everything is subjective.

Happy day.

This is absolutely beautiful and a great love story!
I think most of here, especially those that have lived as a couple a lifetime together, have the fear of being left alone. It most certainly was relevant to me.
I'm so very sorry about you having health issues.
Keep writing if you can ... you have so much to contribute!
Blessings to you and yours and MERRY CHRISTMAS!

Very nice rhymed poem proclaiming the love you have for Angela, your beloved wife, and the fear of being left all alone.

I wish you the best of luck in the contest.

I like your sweet verse about caring and walking through life together. I especially like the following verses.
Our love is deep
A bond we will keep
For those who care
We will always be ther.

Well done and thanks for sharing.
