In Sickness And In Health

 

In Sickness And In Health

©by Bud Lemire on Dec 29, 2022

When two people marry, it's for a love that they share

To honor, to value, and forever to care

Yet life throws a curve ball, and one will get sick

Too much pressure to handle, and one will leave quick

I've been hearing a lot, about someone leaving

While the one that is sick, stays and is grieving

She never asked to be sick, her companion was gone

She battles this illness alone, from dusk until dawn

In sickness and in health, is what was said

On the day they came together, when they were wed

He thought it would be too hard, couldn't handle it all

It's even tougher when alone, he sure had his gall

A real man or woman, will stick by their spouse

Through the worst of times, and not be a mouse

For if it was truly love, you got it all wrong

A weak spouse who left, isn't considered strong

I for one would stand by, the one that I love

Because it's the right thing, it's all I think of

For she gave me her all, and I'll stand by her side

And help her through it, because she was my bride

Until death do we part, I'll always be there

And help her through, all the suffering she'll bear

When it's someone you love, it's the right right thing to do

Together, forever, helping each other through

When you love someone, you stand by each other's side.

You help each other through the best of times and the

worst of times. You don't leave them. What kind of person

are you? Love empowers you to always do the right

thing. If not, it was never love at all.
