Poem
It was their night they shone bright as they danced their sweet dance Two lovers embraced in their world of romance. They laughed and they cried as their eyes locked in stare It was their world for this moment as if no one was there. And their steps they so flawlessly glided in tune, To a melody that touched everyone in that room. Their passion brought envy to onlookers there, Who secretly questioned their own love affair. But as the night closed and came to an end The lovers were blind to what lie round the bend. The house and the cars and the jobs that went bad The kids drove them crazy and their savings were drab. So they fought to hold on to the things in their life, That caused them so much of their pain and their strife. They fought with each other like enemies do, And dismissed in their life everything that was true. So when sickness and hardships and troubles occurred, Their vows to commit seemed truly absurd. Their home and their kids would now take a backseat, For their moral obligation they chose not to meet. So I Ask … What happened to that dance they danced so well? With passion and truth everyone could tell. What happened to their dance where they held so tight? What happened to the wonder of their glorious night? What happened to the words that charmed their ears? With a passionate rhythm that brought them to tears. What happened to those vows that poured from their heart? The “I love you forever and till death do us part”. For these aren’t just words we borrow for the day, From another who tells us this is what we must say. We say them cause it’s what we feel true in our heart, It’s a God given blessing we commit from the start. But these words are now lost as they fall on deaf ears, Since the pain and the struggles they’ve created these years. So the lesson here learned dear people of odd, Is that love is so fragile but made strong with our God. So stop fighting for power and money or need, For all of this nonsense is only our greed. Keep God in your life and he’ll walk you through, When heartache and pain and losses ensue. For why commit vows in the eyes of our God, And not call on him when life gets too hard? For the truth of our vows we are all meant to see, is that marriage is not, made of two, but of three If reading these words ring some truth in your heart, Decide that today you will make a new start. Go hug your spouse and say something kind Don’t let the small stuff cloud up your mind. We’re all just lost souls who are trying to cope If not there for each other then where is the hope? You see, the anger, the fight that in us abide, Is only the insecure child inside. So rise up above all this fear and this pain, And see all the beauty that there is to gain. By trusting in God and his will for you Together forever he’ll see you both through. For life is too short for our miserly ways cheap on our love hence dreading our days. He made us to love in all that we do To wake up each morning and start us a new. So pray for your spouse, ask God to be kind To the person you prayed in the beginning to find. They’re still the same person you loved from the start But life and it’s troubles have hardened their heart. You vowed that you’d love them in sickness and health Now is your chance to show God what you felt. So rise up my friend, don’t say that you’re through For what if your loving God gave up on you?
