Rings of Love
Purity ring vows commitment
marked with fidelity to the Saviour
keeping soul sanctified
around His redemption security.
College ring triumphs midst gratitude
acknowledging family support
toward success' crest
geared by the Lord's wisdom.
Engagement ring glows
while ecstatic in romance bliss
awaiting altar date of Sovereign approval
for love seal's authentication.
Wedding ring sparkles as hope radiates
set for blessed one-flesh venture
as to God, bonded hearts pronounce "I do"
surmounting challenges, till death would sever.
Loyalty ring still prevails over every challenge
steadfastly serving despite sufferings
while the Creator assures verily
His "well done"* approval nod.
*Mathew 25:21 His lord said unto him, Well done, thou good and faithful servant: thou hast been faithful over a few things, I will make thee ruler over many things: enter thou into the joy of thy lord.
