That For Which She Had Yearned
That For Which She’d Yearned
She’d married young, then realized the fact
her spouse was not the type of man to act
with thoughtfulness toward her, and sometimes he
would lose his temper, but unflaggingly
she held her tongue and kept an even keel.
Oblivious to how he made her feel,
her husband threw abusive words. The wife
was one who could forgive despite this strife.
She daily prayed to God her husband’s soul
would soften and her marriage be made whole.
Faith and compassion she had plenty of,
and so the wife gave all she could of love.
She could have held resentment for his ways.
Instead she was forgiving all her days.
In time, the woman saw change take effect!
Her spouse was showing HER love and respect.
He opened up! Surprisingly, this spouse
now brings her gifts and helps her with the house!
Her constant kindness, love, and faith has turned
her marriage into that for which she’d yearned!
