Creating a rainbow, love inspires

Connecting two lives, becoming one

Merging together, feelings inside

Celebrating, we’ve only begun

Meeting at life’s crossroads, love brings truth

Confessing before our Lord, now one

Living as a twosome, sharing love

Spending time together, never done

Cherishing our love, always special

Sharing our dreams, dwelling between us

Leading us on a life adventure

Capturing a moment, on life’s bus

Depending on each other, love bonds

Growing tired of each other, never

Celebrating God’s gifts, shared with us

Changing our minds about us, never

Weathering life’s storms, love conquers all

Singing Hallelujah, love declares

Leaning on each other, love endures

Treasuring us, God’s love truly cares

From 1 Corinthians 13:4-7: “Love is patient; love is kind; love is not envious or boastful or arrogant or rude. It does not insist on its own way; it is not irritable; it keeps no record of wrongs; it does not rejoice in wrongdoing but rejoices in the truth. It bears all things, believes all things, hopes all things, endures all things.”

It is important to know that you have to work to keep love alive; you have to protect it and maintain is, just like you would a delicate flower.

From 1 Corinthians 13:13: “And now faith, hope, and love abide, these three; and the greatest of these is love.”

Passing the Torch

Watching Saturday’s unhurried sunrise

Feeling gratefulness, spirit shall arise

Being retired, life moves at much slower pace

Realizing, there’s no need to win life’s race

Remembering grandfathers, crisp and clear

Teaching life lessons, steady and sincere

Growing up, learning from their example

Tasting life with every new sample

Loving family, with kindness and care

Treating marriage, with love beyond compare

Passing on wisdom, making good choices

Sitting here now, hearing cherished voices

Accepting their torch, these years move along

Being a grandfather, where love belongs

Filling up life, grandchildren sharing love

Joining other grandfathers, fits like a glove

God’s eternal love seeks

Intimate relationships

No longer standing back

Feeling love as He speaks

Our Lord loves each of us

Stepping forward with faith

Accepting His sincere truth

Our God, never to mistrust

When darker times arrive

Opening hearts to our Lord

Never to feel forsaken

Trusting, abiding, alive

Our Father always cares

Hearing faithful prayers

Watching trusting steps

Feeling moments of despair

Flowing from Heaven above

To a stable’s manger

Witnessing from a cruel Cross

God’s Grace delivers His love

From John 15:8-9: “My Father is glorified by this, that you bear much fruit and become My disciples. As the Father has loved Me, so I have loved you; abide in My love.

Seeking hope through faith

But, love must come first

“Love one another”

Now, empty hearts burst

God represents love

A most precious gift

Follow His commands

Love provides a lift

Distribute our love

Family, friends, strangers

Follow Christ’s accord

Makes a life changer

Sowing seeds of love

Jesus brings blessings

Daily nurturing

Keeps love from guessing

Treasure love from Christ

Love blossoms into more

Faithfulness growing

Raising lives to soar

Loving our Savior

His blood stains a Cross

Bringing Salvation

To earth, dark and lost

This most cherished gift

By God’s Grace given

Sisters and brothers

Being forgiven

Holy Commandments

Obeying with love

Loving our neighbors

Pleasing Christ, high above

From Matthew 22:36-40: “Teacher, which commandment in the law is the greatest? He said to him, ‘You shall love the Lord our God with all your heart, and with all your soul, and with all your mind.’ This is the greatest and first commandment. And a second is like it: ‘You shall love your neighbors as yourself.’ On these two commandments hang all the law and the prophets.”
