Gone part of a poem within A Piece of Me

 

 

Gone

Ego and Pride keep them at odds

The other one wants that very thing

I want to give in.

Too lazy to do something different

The light goes off on our love.

Struggling, wanting, realizing

We want it

Flickering starts

The sun rises to the beginning

The first day of our new life.

One DayTo you I vow
My love,
Through the anger we will share
Through the tears we will shed
Through the fights we will fight
Through the children we will bear
I vow to you my love.
I vow my love
Through the hard decisions
Through the bad choices
Through the difference of opinions
Through our raised voices
I vow to you my love
I promise to cherish all this is
Wrong with
Strange
Odd and questionable
About you.
I promise to remember that you are
human
a simple man
a sensitive heart
a great mind
and a child of God.
I will honor
your heart
your soul
your mind
our decisions
our marriage and
our friendship.
I will obey
the outline of virtuous wife
as written in Proverbs 31:10
And the direction God gives me
When I pray for you,
Our family
and answers to the questions
we can not answer alone.
You have
For the rest of your life
A supportive
Respectful
Compassionate
Rational
Dependable
Passionate
and loving wife.
Because my love
does not stop growing
and needs are ever changing
to you, I say,
if you ever need
anything more of me
just ask and I will amend my vows to you.
