Sunflowers
Sealed by love’s fidelity to be forever sweethearts
Upheld as one flesh midst caring bond to the utmost
Never outgrowing honeymoon’s sweetness-nurture
Flourishing while blooming in passionate “I do” fulfilment---
Liberated hearts vanquish selfishness languishing
Optimizing warm togetherness around truth-mercy orb
Well-watered against ennui weariness and apathy-wilting
Ecstatically delighting each other sweetly with earnestness
Rejoicing* now in God's bliss, Dad and Mom’s radiance
Shines, while to me and siblings, their romance serenely stays.
*Philippians 1:26 That your rejoicing may be more abundant in Jesus Christ for me by my coming to you again.
