keeping on
February 8, 2020
all those years ago
our eyes
and our hearts
met
over the chasm
the chasm of years
life experience
and
perspective
we yoked ourselves together
with joy and purpose
and set out to have
a life together
we hit a few snags
along the way
sometimes I didn’t know
how we could go forward
but we kept on
even when
the way forward
looked dark and difficult
we kept on
even when our hearts
pulled
in different directions
we kept on
even when it was only
the keeping on
that gave us the faith
to keep on keeping on
we kept on
the steadfastness becomes
a kind of faith
something to believe in
when times are rough
i know we won’t
throw in the towel
even when it gets hard
to find our way
your hand will find mine
in the darkness
in the confusion
and you’ll hold it a little too tightly
and my heart
will fill
with love
