Love Endures

It takes a strong woman; 
to really stand by her man.
When the world is against them;
she still does all she can.

Through thick and thin;
the good and the very bad.
She keeps coming back
for the love that they have.

When things can get no worse;
they can only get better?
So she trudges along through all;
all of her stormy weather.

So she tries to look to the future;
though the past will not be forgotten.
Deep within her heart;
some feelings are still rotten.

Though her heart is full of forgiveness;
it is also full of pain.
Worrying that some day;
some day will return the rain.

If the rain shall return;
there will be no sadder day.
This strong woman will give up;
give up and truly walk away.

Until then she prays;
she prays with all her heart.
That her and her man;
can have what they had from the start.

Since the day that she had gone; 
after their love took that fall.
They have not yet again become one; 
but they have made it through this all.

Their love has endured many things;
and their love has celebrated many things.
Maybe one day they can make it again;
You truly never know what the future brings.
