PostPoems Be Artistic. Be Creative. Be Inspired!

It seems so very long ago and yet like yesterday

We stood as one and made the vow to love and to obey



Then sealed this vow as things are done ‘until at death we part’

And at the time it never crossed my mind or found my heart



That such a vow has not the power to stand throughout the years

For as time passed, dreams turned to ash and laughter turned to tears



Tears born of little things that slowly took the will to strive

Until a pointless game it seemed to keep our love alive



But near the end a whisper came, “Don’t give up. There’s a way”

“The Savior died and rose again, and so will you someday”



And I’m not sure just why I‘d never had that thought before

But like a hand, it reached inside and opened up the door



And showed me what the Lord has always meant for love to be

A seed that spouts in life…but then grows on eternally
