The Vows
We know what Love is
They whispered softly.
I love you because you’re beautiful…
He said
I love you because you’re strong…
She replied
We know what Love means
They vowed together.
I’ll be my best for you…
She promised
I’ll always take care of you…
He replied
We know where Love takes you
They agreed together.
I’ll build a world for you…
He said sincerely
I’ll stand beside you…
She replied
We know what Love holds
They swore together.
We’ll be happy forever …
She promised solemnly
I’ll never leave you…
He replied
But life makes its own vows
They learned so quickly.
Life made its own rules
They soon realized.
I know what time does
Life whispered softly.
Beauty will fade to gray…
Years said sadly
Dreams will crumble…
Reality replied.
I know what dreams do
Commitment answered
You’ll have hard times…
Work promised
Your life will test you
Reality replied
Some dreams will flourish…
Hope quickly promised
Others will die slowly...
The world replied.
We learned what Love means
They smiled together.
When sickness found me, you held me through it…
He remembered
When life just crushed me, you kept me strong…
She replied
We learned what Love holds
They both said together.
Great joys and heartbreaks…
She sighed so slowly
Fresh dreams and downfalls…
He relied
We learned what Love is
They whispered softly.
To kiss wrinkled cheeks…
He said smiling
Hold hands now withered…
She replied.
We learned what Love becomes
They beamed together.
Each step was worth it…
He said sincerely
I’m glad we chose this...
She replied
