In honor of this year's theme, my dear friend and member of the Wives On Purpose Support Group wrote this poem for our celebration. I hope it blesses you and your marriage.
LOVE NEVER FAILS
By Vanetta Tate © 3/12/10
Love is not the feeling that one gets in a new relationship
Where you can’t hear the words for looking at their lips
It’s not time standing still waiting for the phone to ring
Or the candy, flowers, or just because gifts that you bring
The kind words, your gentle touch, and romantic dinners
Are all nice, but are really just temporary joy lenders
The walks in the park, a new bottle of perfume
When it is all over, real life will resume
Oh, all of it is wonderful and great
But keep on living, just you wait
In the beginning neither could do any wrong
As life progresses we start singing a different song
LOVE, LOVE, LOVE,… Sent from above
The kind that comes in the marriage deal
Ordained by GOD and not how you feel
Love is hanging in there thru thick and thin
Saying I’m sorry, I forgive you, I love you again and again
Tolerating one another’s quirks
Not dishing, slinging, uncovering, or airing the dirt
Getting over differences and letting go of the hurt
Praying, communicating and keeping GOD first
Keeping you needs along side of mine
Both being mindful we’ll be just fine
Being totally committed to GOD and the cause
To complete the journey life with you without a pause
There is the true test that only time can tell
It endures all things LOVE NEVER FAILS!!
