This is a form called a Pensee, but I deviated from the true form. Also, somewhat an example for my contest. I use Isaiah first as it relates to me then how I try to figure out my best trait. Soon we will be married sixty-three years, and I feel that God gave mankind a command to marry, love each other, be faithful, stay together, and have children so I have done that. 

Free drinks
Water, wine, milk
Holy Spirit offers them
To a child at small church years past
He loved me as I was

Filled me
Now a clean pot 
He saw some promise in me
Though I saw it not, so now search
For my positive trait

Loyal
Sticking, holding
Through good, bad, sickness and health
For sixty-three years stayed, prayed and loved
I obeyed God and man

I missed seeing this poem. What a beautiful affirmation of faith, God's love and the sanctity of married life. Really enjoyed reading this poem. With God coming in between, you have been able to lead a happy married life for the last long sixty three years. All the best dear Sara.

Thank you, Valsa. Sometimes the years have seemed long and at times they seem short. It doesn't get any easier the older we get in fact; I have found it gets harder because of health problems. Thanks for the visit. Sara K
