Love Me or Leave Me

Love me or leave me!


Don't continually grieve me


Complain and murmur to me


Disrespect and belittle me


Compare me with others


Criticize my weaknesses


While neglecting your own


Don't irritate my at home


Mope, groan, and moan


About trivial matters


Most inconsequential


Don't speak unkind to me


Abuse me emotionally


While milking me financially


Bulldozing forcefully over me


Exploding unnecessarily


Nitpicking me continually


If this is how you feel deeply


Than please up and leave me!


Because I truly do love me


Regardless of what you see


Despite what you do speak


With your tongue in cheek


I live and love wholeheartedly


I don't dwell, nor live in jealousy


I can endure countless difficulties


Put up with innumerable challenges


Overcome immeasurable barriers


As long as my heart is willing


And my prized will within able


I consider all things capable


I serve the God of the impossible


Who loves all unconditional


His decision is not conditional


Upon our personal perfection


On the contrary, He loves always


Through life's highs and lows


He loves when we don't show


Loving-kindness back to Him


He keeps His Word and worth


When we act utterly worthless


Sink below our potential into less


He abides continually faithful


Through each and every test


Of life through which we go


Grace and kindness He does show


Which ever way we choose to go


Though He does certainly know


That which is best for us indeed


Us by His Son, He has freed


To feel, flow, and even bleed


To live, love, and often learn


His love we sometimes scorn


Yet by it we shall be newborn


And breakthrough everything


Believe and you'll again sing


Love, don't leave and grieve


Those who leave soon bereave


Those who endure much and love


Shine bright with glory from above.

Celebrity Weddings

Celebrity weddings


Come at quite a cost


Yet it's love without which we're lost


Love is precious and priceless


For the faint in heart precarious


True love is enduring and timeless


Love brings out of us our best


Whether you are rich or a pauper


Love cherishes and doesn't drop her


Love seeks to give and not take


Lust selfishly many hearts does break


Love is sincere without guile, nor fake


Love delicately nourishes and protects


Love feels, forgives, and kindly forgets


Love is attentive and never neglects


Love keenly discerns and detects


When something is bothering you


When you need an encouraging word to


Uplift, impart hope, and resurrect you


Love overcomes when it feels overwhelmed


Love leads, but also shares the helm


Love is a concerted, cooperative effort


It's not always a deluxe five-star resort


It's not pretentious, nor does it purport


Requiring teamwork and patience


Self-control and long-suffering resilience


Love is the essence of relational brilliance


The foundation of trust, which rids hesitance


It arises bravely when needed any instance


Love perseveres with a fierce persistence


It doesn't quit when it hits resistance


It is transparent and not defiant


Love is strong, though not self-sufficient


Love realizes what the heart needs


The intangible blessings beyond greeds


Marvelous beyond materialism


Though money makes life easier


To feed, clothe, and house her


To also provide her wants and dreams


Though not all things are as they seem


Some celebrity weddings go sour


As they suddenly turn on and devour


One another, en route to divorce court.


A wedding is far more than a ritz sport


Love is to be a secure citadel and fort


Wherein we can take shelter and comfort


Thus I wish all newlyweds a lifetime of love


An unbreakable bond with all they dream of


Plus unconditional love from God above.
