Our Marriage (Free verse) by amanda_dcosta

Two people in love Two hearts were wed A life time together Fifty years! – hearts set. I saw them in love I asked them their secret What she told me then I’m sure ne’er to forget. “It’s Jesus!” she exclaimed; I stood back in awe. “He’s our priority The first on our charts.” I scarce could believe That they’d build their life Their head being Jesus Not husband or wife. It took me awhile To digest this news It was only later I understood the truth. I’ve fallen in love And I am wed, Seven years by And our hearts are set. “It’s Jesus!”, I tell To all I know, Who ask for our secret And want to know more. We’ve learnt a lot by Investing our love In so rich a bank As Jesus above. When we’re out of love And exhausted and cross He shows us His face To save us a toss. He fills us with patience To know right from wrong He fills us with trust Our hearts to sing songs. He fills us with love To bear joys and sorrows All summed up together We’ve a bright new ‘morrow. So come along folks And join in with me To praise God for marriage In His Trinity! We’re husband and wife With Jesus our head And for eternity Our hearts are wed.

About ne'er...maybe I should have written it ' I'll never forget'. I'll give you that. About the cross/ toss rhyme, I didn't force it. It flowed like that so I decided to keep it. It's for mainly what it means. When one's married, he/she knows what its like to be angry and cross, and see their marriage go for a sixer - a toss, and its hard to keep focus on what's actually brought both together. And about 'morrow - I liked it when I fitted it in, so I kept it.

I'll agree, this piece could be modified like you've pointed out. I'll try doing what I can. Thanks.
