A Valentine’s Poem

You fell for him fast

When you were twenty-something years.

You knew the love would last

But didn’t know all the tears

And fears

That would rise like a flood.

But God hears

The ones he’s redeemed by Jesus’s blood.

You value every piece of pain

Whether it cut shallow or deep.

Not a single ache came in vain

Because he’s worthy for you to keep.

Every hardship, you’ve found, will heap

More love a hundredfold

—Once it’s over.

It makes you leap

For your precious bond must be told.

God has a way

To make it not only okay

But to make it great.

Even when you were buried in sorrow

He will bring a new tomorrow

If you trust him.

With everything, you must trust him.

Nobody said it would be easy

But God says that he is good.

This love will not cease thee

If you both cling to the Lord—like you should.

Cherish being one

With the one God gifted to you.

Love like his Son.

Love—choose to.
