Notes About The Poem

Response To Potpourri

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.

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
Date: 1/17/2016 4:21:00 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
