Notes About The Poem

In church I said I do to you
our journey has not been easy.  
Marriage takes work; we must not shirk
total commitment, love and trust.

Paul Callus January 17, 2016 at 4:12 PM Well done Jan! I have been thinking on writing about the same quote as yours, but still nothing definite. I wonder if it would be going against the rules were 2nd and 4th lines to rhyme! Hugs // paul Jan Allison January 17, 2016 at 4:21 PM From what I can gather they shouldn't rhyme Paul.. initially I was going to go with the humour quote but this is the poem I came up with in the end:-) hugs jan xx
