Love And Devotion
I gave up all just to be with you.
I hoped that our love would be true.
Time will tell if I am right.
I pray I am with all my might.
There will come a day for reflections.
May they show not one rejection.
Let the pattern of our lives
be a perfect quilt with no lies.
May it show only love and devotion.
Much deeper than any ocean.
Let it be said we tried our best.
The love we display will do the rest.
There will be challenges to be sure.
May they all become only a blur
in our memory of our past.
Let us know we found a love that lasts.
As we grow old and set in our ways.
May we remember we never strayed.
But, found strength in each other’s arms.
Smothered in each other’s charms.
When we are both laid down to rest.
Keep this promise. It’s not a jest.
We will both step into tomorrow.
Where there is no pain or sorrow.
For, throughout our lives we have found
trust in God has kept us around.
We trusted in Him to guide our lives.
More than once He saved our hides.
He guarantees we have eternity.
The perfect place for us, you see.
For we had a lifetime being together.
So eternity will be easy to weather.———-R. W. Johnson—–(2013)
