Mark J. Halliday Poet Free verse

Halfway There

You and I, Love, are halfway there.
Each content with what we've found--
In spite of kids and strife,
And struggles with mid-life,
We've had the good sense to stick around.
Both looking forward, walking together,
Ever onward, hopefully forever.
Yes, you and I, Love, are halfway there.

YOU and I, LORD, are halfway there.
Each day I'm heading towards home.
In spite of sins committed,
And/or good deeds omitted,
YOU've never left me all alone.
YOU encourage me to do what's right,
Foresaking darkness to seek the light.
Yes, YOU and I, LORD, are halfway there.

Showing all how the blessings of Marriage are abundant and so fulfilling. Mark J. Halliday May 11, 2014 at 12:27 PM Yeah, Nelly and I get along pretty well. Us and the first son, however.... Thanks for commenting.
