To find a love
like my grandparents shared
"Till death do us part,"
those words were not spared...
For they loved beyond
the hardships and strife,
creating together
a beautiful life...
No burden too great
that they both could not bear,
not only the joy
but the pain they shared...
Believing in one another
they found their way,
to grow with each other
through each passing day...
Trusting in more
than just saying, "I do",
they looked to each other,
to answer, "How to?"...
Their children were raised
with kind loving hands;
together facing
the toughest demands...
Never turning away
no matter the cost,
believing to them,
they'd never be lost...
Unconditional love
they shared through the years,
regardless of the mistakes,
or nights spent in tears...
From, remember when
to, look at them now!!!
They set the foundation
for when, why and how...
No greater love,
could I have been shown...
To know one day;
I'll have for my own...
