Husband and Wife

What is the role of husband and wife
to love one another, forever in life
then after life, knowing there would be death
more love for the other, with each dying breath.

A ring but symbol, took with vow
if you meant it then, you must mean it now
my darling forever, it was promised then
sealed with a kiss, from this heart within.

What a precious gift, that a person can give
and a memory makes, with each day you live
more then a friendship, stuck better then glue
and ends everyday, with a simple love you.

Jessica, I can relate to this sweet poem,, My husband died at thirty, and I still wear the ring. We would have been married 64 years ago a few days ago and the ring is a symbol of eternal love, I think of hin daily and wrote a poem about both he and that cherished ring! Pangie
