Why are we still together after all these years? I heard a song that says, “Love will keep us together..” But, I believe it takes more than love. The things that attract at the beginning of a relationship often become the things that irritate us later. I would contend that it takes more than love to keep us together. Read my poem and find out.
Opposites Attract
Amazing how we’re wired
Opposite poles you and me
Attracted for a lifetime
Stuck with each other
In the best way possible
Love, hate, stresses and joys
All because we are so different
Sometimes in sync
At times all turned around
Sometimes like cats and dogs
At others like two peas in a pod
Underlying this oppositeness
A foundation of commitment
Superseding anything our oppositeness brings
Entwined like the roots on the forest floor
Strength in the time of storm
Blooming together joyfully in the sunshine
God ordained
Love without end
