PILLARS OF LOVE
When love blooms in the heart like a delicate flower,
Full of beauty and fragrance, and you feel it’s power
Thrill you and you want that love to last for evermore
Like the rays of warm sun that from heaven do pour,
To keep that love glowing all radiant and ever bright,
Build pillars that show love, fill each heart with delight.
A pillar of respect for your soulmate to show you care,
Treat them at all times as though God were right there,
Stop and think that your deep binding love is truly divine,
Will it grow if respect isn’t shown? it’s like fruit on the vine
That will die if not continually watered by a loving hand,
And handled so well so you let it know you understand.
The pillar of honesty is needed to hold your true love pure,
No hidden secrets should be kept, that means love is not sure,
For sweet love will listen and understand as secrets are told,
Filling each heart with a loving trust so strong that it will hold
Together whatever may befall, the love-light shine like the sun
In your eyes, when hearts are honest and eternal love is won.
The pillar that is needed for precious love to blossom and grow
Is open communication skills to lovingly and constantly show,
Be on the same wavelength, tune into the needs of each other,
Talk to explain well and listen to truly hear so save a lot of bother,
Never plan what to say while the other explains, that is all wrong
For you are not listening, communication is a two way song.
Another pillar that keep love on the road to dear heaven above,
Is to often prayer together in earnest to God and feel His love
Drench you as you kneel by the bed each morning and night,
For praying, kneeling close, all anger and upset will take flight,
Then wrapped in His love, your love grows stronger each day,
Many people will notice that your love is special in every way.
There are more pillars you can build to keep your love strong,
But start with these four and you will not go too far wrong,
Keep love-light burning, give of yourself one hundred percent,
And I can promise that your union will feel it is heaven sent,
Aim for heaven no matter whatever may come your way,
Then that flower of love will blossom and grow every day.
