LOVE
Love
can only be proven with time.
When
you’ve been with someone for 25 years, it’s so much more than just love it’s
trust.
It’s
love when a relationship has been through many trials and tribulations, but in
the end they’re still committed to the I Do’s.
I
do goes way further than just something that was said on their wedding day.
I
do believe God had them meet.
I
do believe God made it possible for them to get married.
I
do believe God allowed me to be born as a gift that reflects the love between
the two.
Now
on this day August 17, 2013, I do believe God allowed my mother and my father
to renew their wedding vows.
I
do BELIEVE, PROCLAIM, and PROFESS this love is unstoppable.
MOTHER’S
REFLECTION
This poem touches me in a special way.
Being married over 25 years at an early age devoted and committed to one man
has proven itself worthy. God has kept us through the trials and tribulations of
life. I do believe with time, patience and understanding the love between two
people can endure the toils that life brings them. Communication is the key to
making all things possible. Many may not believe but I’m a believer and I
believe that standing on the word of God, proclaiming and professing him as my
Lord and savior kept me in the midnight hours. I do believe he gave us the
structure to raise such a wonderful and beautiful daughter. Life is a
challenge, but it is how you overcome those challenges that make you Victorious.
MY REFLECTION
The day I wrote this poem, the same words
kept coming to my mind. I had no idea at the time the words I remembered were
from Kirk Franklin’s song “Love.” The lyrics I knew from the song,
conversations with family, and my parents love inspired this poem. I believed
every word written in my notebook, but I still did not know if it would be
meaningful to the audience. When August 17, 2013 finally came, I was so
nervous. I memorized everything, and I went up to the microphone and shared
what was written. After I was done, I remember hearing the pastor say “Wow,”
and my mother was crying! When I looked at her she said, “That was beautiful!” In
that moment I felt proud, and I still remain proud. My parents love is still
unstoppable.
