Hard Times Turn Into Love

We fell in love when we were young Thinking our lives have just begun We thought that marriage was a start To join both of our lonely hearts We found a place to call a home Trying to survive on our own We always did the best we could In our run down neighborhood You would never see a frown When we wore our hand me downs Eating bread and peanut butter Snuggled up close to each other As we lived from week to week Odd jobs helped us make ends meet Giving each other lots of support In this love that we have fought Hard for since the day we met Remembering never to forget That if you fight and not give in Both your hearts will always win

Those last 2 lines were brilliant and brought the whole piece together so well. It's always nice when you can feel the struggle inside the poem, but then at the end you feel refreshed and renewed with the sense of joy and hope ;)
