Living out a Noble Life

Sounds funny but is true,
With marriage as a virtue;
No commandment of the Lord,
On virgins loved and adored.

For marriage is not a sin,
To one that is a virgin;
Neither is someone divorced,
It can be godly endorsed.

Time has shortened what will last,
And it will start to move fast;
With marriage the second time,
But neither has done a crime.

Once filled with tears of sorrow,
Makes one think no tomorrow;
But divorce stays in the past,
For the future must outlast.

Tears of sorrow turn to joy,
Fading the past to destroy;
Memories that made you sad,
With new ones to make you glad.

You are concerned of the things,
That the past and future brings;
Just live out a noble life,
No matter how bad the strife.
