My Mama fell
in love
When she was
sweet sixteen,
Her 'dearest'
Romeo
The
handsome one
to see.
Such a
romantic
courtship
With all the
tender looks,
Writing poems
and love-notes
Cuddling into
cozy nooks.
Then came
the pretty
wedding
In lemon,
mauve and
cream,
Bringing out
the whole
community
To celebrate
their dream.
They settled
in a wooden
cottage
On fine farming
land,
Then suffered
tragic
disasters
To break the
heart of any
man.
But instead,
God came to
them
To whisper, I
love you,
I died to give
you life
To bring you
eternal joy
that's true.
And so they
trusted Him
For all that
lay ahead,
He blessed and
gave His
strength
And by His
wisdom led.
Now my Mama
has the
memories
To look back
on and smile,
Her Romeo's
still with her
And God's kept
her all the
while.
I am
thankful for
her courage
For
laboring
with love,
In living
out her true
faith
Her
reward is
waiting
above.
