Seasons of Love and Marriage
V
Love builds over the span of time.
like a large oak grows rings each year,
passions growth, like nature, is sublime.
When devoted, there is much to cheer.
_________________
As with the seasons, change is common.
While we 'oft think better of concentric
cycles that feel like a safe harbor in a storm,
the bedrock of a strong marriage is
knowing there will be stormy days,
Keeping your marriage a safe harbor.

When in a lifeboat, the two that keep rowing in unison,
with all life's stuff stowed on the marriage raft,
does descend into a rough trough, they will remain seagoing,
then again, sail afloat on smooth seas, with the wind abaft.
_____________________
Most certainly, deep affection drives Intense feelings.
A passion that kindles tenderness,
creates warmth and intimacy that instills
a complete commitment to making a marriage work.
When both partners hold firm to an allegiance
built from the trust of fidelity ...
Love becomes timeless.
_____________________
Over the span of time, like the tree's roots growing deep
So do the roots bind the young at heart's tender minds.
As a tree bends when winds blow across a forested steep,
learning to bend, not break, makes you both wunderkinds.
