Love Poem

February is the “love month” with the fourteenth the designated day to give cards, chocolates, and flowers.  I wrote a love poem for a special couple and I wanted to share it.

“THEY SAID IT WOULDN’T LAST”

They said it wouldn’t last, but didn’t know our love.

They said it wouldn’t last, but they didn’t know God’s plan from above.

God worked in a wonderful way bringing us together through a friend.

He created our love that would be special and without end.

They said it wouldn’t last, our friends and kin of fifty years ago.

Today they gather in His house to celebrate what you and I know.

A bond started On that day when our eyes first met.

It is a love story that started and continues yet.

Ten days together was so short but our love grew and grew.

Separated while you serving the red, white, and blue.

Could our love last for an acquaintance so brief?

Would it be short and the memory be one of grief?

It seemed as a flash from heaven as a falling star burning so fast.

We were separated and our love seemed to others not to last.

It was a precious moment we spent in late July.

Our separation Seemed like an eternity as August crept by.

We longed for each other until the second of September.

It became our wedding day, what a day to remember.

Many special moments of love have continued since those days.

Three handsome boys God gave to us to raise.

A family and home we had filled with commitment and love.

Our blessings could not have happened without God above.

Today our lives are filled with grandchildren, great-grandchildren, friends, and other kin.

To thank you for celebrating with us, there’s no place to begin.

They said it wouldn’t last our love at first sight.

Love lasts forever when it done right.

Marriage takes commitment and love with help from the Divine.

That’s something everyone must remember when we ask “will you be mine?”

They said it wouldn’t last, but the years have flown by.

Fifty precious years that started on a lovely day in late July.

For: Aubrey and Ruth Randall on their fiftieth wedding anniversary on September 2, 2001.

For God so loved the world, that he gave his only begotten Son, that whosoever believeth in him should not perish, but have everlasting life John 3:16 (KJV).
