Reflective Wanderer

Let love be true and faithful in your hearts 
And never leave your hearth and earthly home.
May children walk your ways and not depart,
But find them sweeter than the honeycomb.
When time and chance have rusted all your dreams,
And power fails, and feet grow slow by age,
Let love endure. Give passion her extremes,
Provoke the rush ecstatic youthful rage
To burn with love’s desire. When fury cools,
And dawn slips into day, let love endure. 
For love’s a patient, kind, and humble fool.
Yet be a fool, for love alone is pure.
If this be true, let marriage be the test 
That is God is love. And give to love your best.
