Commitment
 
Your wonderful, sweet and tender touch
Has brought me joys beyond compare
Your warm kiss upon my welcome lips
Remind me you are always there.
 
Our lives together have been a blessing
Accomplished by but a measured few
Unlike us, too many folks live their lives
Like a pot of come what may stew.
 
We have given the best we know to give
Turned the pages of time together
Have worked out problems and disputes
And waded the floods of stormy weather.
 
We have laughed when our hearts were heavy,
Loved when contention played upon our minds
Shared pleasures, pains, joys, and heartaches
Cementing our lives with unconditional love that binds.
 
Some say our lives appear near perfect
And perhaps compared to others, it is so
However, they cannot possibly know
The problems we’ve faced in this relationship
As we continually grow—and love.

TOUCHING AND SO WELL EXPRESSED. YOUR PHRASES, IMAGERY AND RHYME SOLIDLY SUPPORTS YOUR THEME. THANKS FOR SHARING AND FOR GIVING THE MEANING OF COMMITMENT WITH THE WISDOM THAT TRUE LOVE BRINGS. BLESSINGS. LOVE, JOYCE * HIS INSPIRATIONS

Congratulations on this accomplishment, Jeanette. A long marriage speaks volumes about character; morals, ability to compromise, and expression of feelings. This is a romantic poem. I hope it made your loved-one smile wide:)

Jeanette,
It's heartening to know that in a cold uncaring selfish world a strong commitment such as this still flourishes. Thank you.

It's good to know that commitment exists, not just a word, but a warm reality that you have described with simplicity and honesty.

Marriages grow with the years, at least good ones do. Life is short so enjoy every moment left with each other. A good message said here in this poetry. Love always and never give up. Better days will come always. Great love write and so encouraging to other married couples too. Everyone has problems, it's how you handle them that counts mostly.
