What Do They Say? Poem by Kathryn Tyler King

They say that fools rush in
that we need so much time
but they do not see within
a love that is deep, refined.

They say how could this be?
How can you know for sure?
This won’t last it will flee.
We’ll go back as we were.

But they do not see ahead.
God has a plan for both of us
With His Word we’ll be fed.
They’ll no longer try to fuss.

They say our love will not last,
that we’re only in it for the fun.
We seek a better life than past
to glorify our Lord, the Son.

Have you walked in our shoes?
Have you died to yourself?
God sent his disciples in twos
we’re not sitting on a shelf.

They say that two is better.
With the Lord that is three.
With Him no cord can sever
No enemy can really see.

If we have loved foolishly
and if it saves one to serve
then praise Him endlessly
for blessings we deserve.
