A Better Way

It seems so very long ago and yet like yesterday,

we stood as one and made the vow to love and to obey.

 

Then sealed this vow as things are done until, “at death we part.”

But at the time it never crossed our minds or found our hearts -

 

that such a vow has not the power to stand throughout the years.

For time passed on, dreams turned to ash, and laughter turned to tears

 

Tears born of little things that slowly took our will to strive

until a pointless game it seemed to keep our love alive.

 

But near the end a whisper comes, “Don’t give up. There’s a way”

“The Savior died and rose again, and so will you someday”

 

And I’m not sure just why we‘d never had that thought before,

but like a hand, it reached inside and opened up the door.

 

It showed us what the Lord has always meant our love to be…

a seed that spouts in life and then grows on eternally.
