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.

I'm not convinced by the last section...the poem's more compelling when you're telling me your experience rather than overtly trying to convince me. Still worth a 7, I shall remember to check any edits of this piece.
