If she's the one you love and trust, <br />Who lives within your heart, <br />Then cherish her, for this you must, <br />Your true love to impart! <br />For love compels us to respond <br />To all we're meant to be, <br />Not just today, but far beyond, <br />For all eternity! <br /> <br />That's why God wants us at our best, <br />Not coasting throughout life... <br />And if a man seeks to be blessed, <br />He cherishes his wife... <br />Forgiveness heals the burdened soul, <br />To free it from despair... <br />And yet more blessed is self-control <br />And when two hearts can share. <br /> <br />Togetherness brings happiness <br />And riches more than gold, <br />Such that contented souls confess <br />The joys they have and hold. <br />So cherish her, your other half, <br />Who makes your life so sweet! <br />With every smile and every laugh, <br />She makes your life complete! <br /> <br />Let others envy, near or far, <br />The beauty in your lives <br />And let your marriage set the bar <br />For husbands and their wives... <br />Not all are married happily, <br />We strive to make it so... <br />God tells us daily, love's the key... <br />The rest is ours to know...<br /><br />Denis Martindale<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/cherish-her/
