Due to the explanation here (Poem Tango) I am extending (Love willing)
the lease on love poetry,
because after all is said and done/won
Love is poetry clamouring to be written!💗😊
This poem applies to marriage or
Love's Common Carriage called 'us'
"Let's keep in mind, storms never stay
the sun will shine again..."
Last week's sunshine-soak-spot😀
(side note; looks like our snow dugout in the background needs digging out!)
Weather is one way of reminding us how swiftly life's landscape can change,
and the only abiding Anchor is Love!
Let’s leave allowances, my love, for fumbles, slips and such
And smooth out shouted wrinkles with a kinder kind of touch
Let’s be good friends and not give up where cups of grace ran dry
Let’s weather life together and give love another try
Let’s be to one another what we wish others to be
The golden rule is not a rubric of antiquity
But is a foolproof principle for people, young and old
And able to work wonders in a badly broken mold/world
Let's keep in mind storms never stay, the sun will shine again
Let's not get so caught in the moment we forget the 'Then'
As much as we are able let's soften often harsh tones
And prove that we are grateful by not hurling verbal stones
Let’s forgive one another and release the bitter grudge
Let love be of sound judgment, then, not quite so quick to judge
What good is pointing fingers when we all bear part of blame
Let’s remember Life’s Author and the love from whence we came
…and leave allowances because we are all learning still
Then let’s love one another on life’s road, often uphill
Instead of clenching angry fists let’s join our hands until
The love of God has worked in us His greatest miracle

Heb.13:1 NKJV

Keep on loving one another as brothers and sisters..
