Until Death Do Us Part

There are many successful long-term marriages, none of them perfect.

Until Death Do Us Part

 

By Elton Camp

 

A perfect marriage has never been known

The history of mankind has clearly shown

 

Even the first human pair, we must confess,

Of their union made a most terrible mess

 

Abraham and Sarah come along right clean

Until Hagar and Ishmael came on the scene

 

Kings David and Solomon had great lives

But both had trouble due to too many wives

 

Especially today, the divorce rate is too high

To succeed, many couple don’t seriously try

 

As soon as any friction or trouble comes along

The partners will be singing their “swan song”

 

Yet there are couples, who from when they begin

Are going to stick together through thick and thin

 

This is based on the wisdom that comes from above

Helped by the fact that each other they truly love
