Devotion to Another

Ruth 1:16 & 17

Do not urge me to leave now or turn back,
Wherever you go I follow on the same track;
Where you stay so will I in being as mine,
Whatever you eat the same that I will dine;
For your people will also be my people too,
My God to be the same as the God for you;
Wherever you may die for I to do the same
Until the time of death together we remain.
As for Ruth, Naomi was really like no other,
Instead of an in-law was more as a mother;
There are many relationships we develop,
Much the same as they may just shape up;
A bond especially with a husband and wife,
That grows beyond the realms of your life;
It is not by chance if your paths intersect,
All as part of God's plan for to interject;
In the eyes of God you are no longer alone,
As a companion that will share your throne;
Much as with the Holy Trinity being as one,
Heavenly Father, Holy Spirit and the Son.
