They Chose To Alter Life
By Clyde E. Gumbs

 

A father and a mother

A husband and a wife

One day made a commitment

That commitment altered life

 

They chose that day to marry

To create a family

They didn't know the future

But the results are plain to see

 

Their lives were never easy

No one ever cleared the way

The burdens drawn from childhood

Live with them every day

 

In the face of every challenge

The will always find a way

In the face of disappointment

They always hold on anyway

 

They live as contribution

Within the world community

They always make a difference

Embrace responsibility

 

Their partnership was formed in love

Love transforms life you see

Their love produced their children

Their children bound inseparably

 

Their family is admired

Wherever it is known

Their family is resilient

As the test of time has shown

 

They may have disagreements

They may have their disputes

They may have loud discussions

With issues that they may refute

 

But in times of trial and tribulation

They close ranks with urgency

In times that call for greatness

They always find their destiny

 

They could have lived their lives

Inside of mediocrity

But they made a bold commitment

And altered life eternally
