    About this ebook

    For what you have given, since the beginning, is without measure and could never be matched in this life or the next.
    I love you, now and forever and after.

    An unforgettable collection of free verse poetry, 'Dear Beloved' delves into various aspects, phases and stages of love.

    Through heartfelt poems and relatable letters, in tandem with stunning line imagery, award-winning author Shirley Siaton captures attraction, infatuation, passion and, perhaps, a slice of forever out of her own heart and countless others.
