With Love's Purity
With love’s purity
you offered me with sincerity
assurance toward “till death do us part” certainty
of joyous "one-flesh"* security...
confident to receive my affirmative surety.
Decades ago, you’re hopeful of our altar date
upon your insistence midst persistent prayer-state…
yet, knowing that with steadfast faith against jesting fate
the Sovereign’s answer is never late...
courageously, you accepted that I'm not meant to be your lifetime mate.
Beholding you with your happy family now
while delighting in my special home, ministry can only allow
I’m rejoicing that each of us kept our steadfast vow
to be in the center of God’s will; to Him we submissively bow
since He knows what’s best for us…including every why any how.
Midst agape love binding mine with your heart...
from our blissful memories we can’t depart
you and I never got away from what we did start
to please the Lord, through His entrusted course-chart
vanquishing selfishness and its fatal dart.
*Matthew 19:6 Wherefore they are no more twain, but one flesh. What therefore God hath joined together, let not man put asunder.
