Real Lasting Love Together

In this day of break ups and divorce
is marriage for life really possible?
can two people really live in harmony?
to start with let's get sensible

Any two people will have differences
no two persons can be the same
so we all need to be realistic
be not quick to cast the blame

Make sure you truly love each other
wanting to live with this person for ever
willing to put up with each other
always willing to be the giver

When apart wishing to be together
treasuring each moment that you share
wishing the best for each other
give your all in loving tender care

They'll be times of doubt and fall outs
but this will test if its real love
for deep persevering love will overcome
refusing temptation to take a shove

Real lasting love together
will no matter what overcome and defeat
with peace and contentment shared together
will be for each other a life long treat

It seems marriages are throw aways now a days, like a paper plate or cup. The commitment needed to live out forever with just one is rough. But a life with one it is a bond to be cherished. I've got 8 years, going on forever. I've enjoyed your poem thanks for it :)
