Here’s another poem written for the vow renewal that is happening today!
The path to true love is steep and narrow,
With wondrous vistas along the way.
When two souls share hard times together,
Their confidence grows day by day.
Their trust becomes more real;
Their love becomes more sure.
Through hardships, hearts can heal.
Through prayer, love becomes more pure.
The path to true love requires both
Souls to put each other first,
To listen to each other through
Better, and through worst,
To strive to look for the good with
Patience, when tempers flare,
Allowing for life’s frustrations
To dissipate through the air.
We each have our own weakness,
And if we need to say
Something the other is doing
That blocks our love along the way,
Then’s the time for ears to hear,
As hearts open with care
To listen with real intent;
To try our best to be fair.
We each have different ways
In how we need to be loved.
Affections, appreciation & acceptance,
Lift one’s conscience up above.
Most negative feelings will
Seldom get a start.
The path to true love is understanding,
And each soul must do the greater part.
