Love Was There and Still Prevails
Love* verily tied Dad and Mom as one
Upholding steadfast commitment vow
Sealed by “Till death do us part…”
Such love surpassed romantic thrills
We their children beheld with bliss
Since they remained clinging to each other for decades
Cleaving to love’s strength triumphantly.
Surely their love built our home
Exemplified with kindness’ care-share-give
Asserting truth, respect, forgiveness…
Still prevailing by the compassion of God
That genuine love keeps on begetting loving families
My soul along faith testifies with gratitude
While I strive to live for its growth and fruition.
*1 John 4:18 There is no fear in love; but perfect love casteth out fear: because fear hath torment. He that feareth is not made perfect in love.
