The Lovely Path We Chose

Some search for their soul mate,
Dream this will be their ending fate.
For someone to read their thoughts and fears,
And that same someone will hold them near.
Out of the blue for no reason or rhyme,
This love will last til the end of all time.
My observation is this happens rarely,
Some mortals spend their lives unfairly.

I may have rushed in and married too early,
We were young, in love and in a hurry.
Some think that I just settled,
While they hold out for their holy medal.
My heart of hearts and answered prayers,
Allow me to recognize this love I declare.
Although we can't read each other's minds,
Our love is made up of a different kind.

It's complicated and takes hard work,
I forgive him when he is a jerk.
Our love isn't always kind and caring,
It's dysfunctional and sometimes over bearing.
We nearly have thrown in the towel a time or two,
My earth mate has broken my heart, made me blue.
We stay connected through thick and thin,
Not sure when or how our relationship might end.

All God's children are given a different walk,
With diverse paths, beliefs and thoughts.
We may never relate to how the other thinks and feels,
And never find our soul mate that's actual and real.
My mate and I have promised to be together,
Better or worse, til death parts, that's the endeavor.
Our love is made of strength and courage,
Struggles, compromises, devotion that flourishes.
