Rain Or Shine

R-ain or shine, serve God,
O-ctober thirteenth day;
S-unny or sullen, stay strong,
E-ither crimson or gray.

B-ad or good weather,
E-ver faithful you remain;
L-et not dark sadden you,
L-et light erase the pain.
E-ither vile or fine clime will never change your mind;
N-othing can make you shiver, steadfast, rain or shine.

You and I are running neck and neck even though I am 77 years old and married for 52 years. My how the time flies when you throw your watch out the window. You write so many poems that you probably only receive a few comments. I only receive a few myself. Have been on Poetry Soup since middle of 2013.
