JOYS OF TRUE LOVE

When we have a love that is different in some way,
A love that keeps the heart rejoicing every single day,
A love that grows stronger every moment that we live,
A love where there is very little take and lots of give.
We should find a way of keeping that love alive forever,
It should be our life’s aim and our eternal endevour.
Do you know what it’s like to be treated like a queen?
And love-light after all these years still to be seen
In those eyes that stole your heart away years ago,
Still want to be close together everywhere you go?
The feeling in your heart when others notice that special love,
They see there is something in your life worth having above.
Then thank the Lord everyday for being married for eternity,
Not parted by death, can you imagine the grief that would be?
Joy comes from understanding, lets you spouse know you care,
Loving whatever happens, showing that you are always there.
Holding hands tightly when trouble comes your way,
Knowing nearly always just the right things to do and say,
Knowing when to hold your tongue or speak a kindly word,
No voices raised in anger in the home should ever be heard.
For true love brings joy through effort of giving of self every day,
It’s worth working for because of the joy that comes your way.
