So many obstacles
have been carefully placed
in the path of our relationship.
Yet,
Rudy and I
have managed to challenge them
and have either quickly jumped,
or slowly crawled,
over them
using
our last bit of strength
until
finally
we
land
standing
together
hand in hand.

Most times
the lessons learned
take a while to understand,
to help us grow
just a bit more,
tightening the vow
we are both
committed to uphold.
We have had to
dig deep
within our souls
to consider
what is important
in life.

We know.
We understand.

Obstacles
aren’t meant
to
raze
our relationship,
but rather
they are
nudges
to build
upon
an
already
solid
foundation.
