withstood......my first unread poem over years

They still think it stands
it did
when one was young
even in imagination
one could
and
as later in dreams
it would
on the dance floor,
forever it stood,
till one got married
and
it tarried and parried
as times’ test it withstood.
later on,
on one night stands,
it often did
as one,
oneself did hide
ere one went for a jolly ride,
it was always on the other's side.

later one stands along a lonely tree,
hopefully it would
and
some passer by perhaps
see it,
one should
ere one passes away,
hope it does stay
within one we all pray
and
it stands once in a way,
ere they perish and pass away.

hopefully it will stand
the test of time,
as it does so
in poetic parlance,
it would have withstood
the test of time
and say,
yes it stood.
