The Test

Why do people marvel
When relationships are tested
Is there nothing, that you stand to lose
With all that you've invested?

A relationship is tempered
By the hottest burning fire
Only time, will tell it's worth
Not the blind desire

It's meant to last a lifetime
Tho not many of them do
Somtimes the smallest problems
Cause them to say we're through

A relationship is something built
By earning respect and trust
And more than anything else
Honesty, is a must

Your relationships will be tested
Just like all the rest
And, if it's truly meant to be
Then you, will past the test
