In Our Own Way

Thoughts, to us, so precious and dear;
become the new dawn, each day;
we all face life, both unique and austere;
each in our very own way.

Most of us treat our lives as very serious;
to others; life is merely a bad joke;
to everyone concerned; life is mysterious;
some grow rich; others become broke.

Each day is but a step in one lifetime;
a new adventure, awaits each day;
although friendship extends its lifeline;
most want to have their own way.

When, in love, we approach a new day;
finding a new manner of living;
those we love are never in our way;
we learn the blessings of giving.

Marriage is the joining of two into one;
each of them wanting their say;
such unions are serious; not just for fun;
all think, in their very own way.

Love is the answer to every life sorrow;
all must breathe love, every day;
marriage must last well beyond tomorrow;
where two; both get their way.

Love serves as life’s most precipitous goal;
the proverbial double-edged sword;
where two hearts; become one living soul;
and, all risks are exceeded by reward.
