Joyce Johnson Poet Acrostic

Idealized Love

I watch as they repeat their vows,
Darling granddaughter and her love.
Each looks into the other's eyes
As though directed from above.
Loving them both, I say a prayer.
I pray the fairy tale will last.
Zealously, jealously I beg,
Each day their love remains steadfast
Dear Lord, for them I dare to ask.

Love that grows stronger every day,
Oh, how I wish that for these two.
Vows remembered and vows renewed,
Each partner staying strong and true.

(My last unmarried granddaughter and her love were married yesterday.)

Darlene De Beaulieu January 1, 2023 at 11:28 AM Hello Joyce, yes the relationship should be strong. I agree about the trust to. trust is important. You know Joyce, i trusted my husband. When we went on a trip that is where he cheated on me. He ruined the vacation. I am over it now. i am a widow now going on 7 years in March. y husband did not believe in the vows. Enjoy your day my friend.
