The Essence of True Commitment

It's a special covenant

Between two people

Who love to sacrifice

For one another

In order too maintain

The blessings of a happy home

As the butterflies remain

In the hearts and stomachs

Of only a chosen few

Who've vowed to sanctify their union

As long as time will approve

It's relevantly the only virtue

Demonstrated by two infatuated lovers

Within a picture book titled

The Essence Of True Commitment

Who are now in plain view

Of all reading admirers

Who never thought

This type of love could be made possible

During these current relational times

Of infidelity and plausible heartbreak

Its about respecting each other and being supportive...sacrificing sometimes your own identity and so often at least one has to do that...nicely done...Rose:)

So true - the essence of true commitment is in the sacrifice and in the work - and there is nothing more worth the effort. "These current relational times of infidelity and plausible heartbreak..." are such because people just don't want to put in the effort - sad for them. Well done!

Great penning, B. it's a willingness by two individuals to work together to keep the union strong through good and bad times. Understanding your partner's idea of what commitment means and having it match your own helps.

I've read that book and sighed wondering how and why, some people are lucky to find someone who'll work just as intensely 24/7 as them, it's a two way street, when one breaks down it's devastation for the relationship, nicely pend'd Bpoet.

and yet, there are those of us who believe in , and revere, the value of real love....shame on all of us, for thinking it is possible! well penned!
