Think hard again before you leave
the partner you pledged to love;
That decision will certainly cleave
two hearts like a sacrificed dove.
How much value is in your word,
honor found deep in your soul?
Hold onto courage and fortitude
however love’s difficult toll.
Opposites do naturally attract
or eventually they may repel;
Often we give up, due to fact
of living in temporary hell.
Perhaps if given gracious chance
people can learn to change;
Pull partner closer in life dance,
pride aside, missteps rearrange.
