Snow White Impurities

the outside floated inside white seeds seemed fluff floating & frolicsome until their rooted relic of bitter dandelion wine wished we hurried to busy our bones do something thoughtful. yes..we’d pluck a stem or two and gift but this gift in ever after would list and wither so quickly amidst the coiffer of quarrels pushing of the dander of matters we stuffed our pillows with at night nightmare of nettled never-never disappears snow white impurities implicated our insides empty and forlorn forgetting our vows our impertinence of the importance of marital bliss which doesn’t begin with tricks and treats but with travails that lead to immemorial memories and progeny a long lasting kiss carry your wife over the threshold barrier don’t let complacency enter let a garden of delights bloom within learn from occasional weeds pluck…let sun in…water tender your every day kiss invite in joy and praise ******************************** (I’ve been married 45 years)

I’m so sorry for your heartbreak. We had our ups and downs, but I do cling to my faith in Christ. Marriage takes two to love. Important to let go of bitterness. I feel blessed not because I deserve it or made it happen. I prayed and continued to love. You will grieve this loss. I pray God’s comfort and that one day you will be able to chance love. Again, I am so sorry ((hugs))

Thank you, Ink! I was 19 and hubby was 20. Crazy! Went into the service, not with the intention of marrying. My boyfriend (then) showed me a ring in commissary, kept asking me to marry him. It was when I thought I would say no, I knew I wanted to. Ups and downs throughout but better and better as we grow older. Thankful and blessed. ((hugs))
