A Love's Pursuit - Genesis Chapter 29 Poem

More about A Love's Pursuit - Genesis Chapter 29 Poem

In Genesis, a tale is told,
Of Jacob, young and bold,
He journeyed far, to a distant place,
To Laban's home, with hopeful grace.
He met a shepherdess by a well,
Her name was Rachel, the story tells,
With love at first sight, his heart did race,
He longed to win her, with God's grace.
But Laban, shrewd and sly of heart,
Demanded service, before they could start,
Jacob worked hard, for seven years,
To win Rachel, his love sincere.
But on the wedding night, a shock,
Laban deceived him, like a crock,
He gave him Leah, instead of Rachel,
A cruel trick, a cunning tussle.
Jacob, distraught, confronted Laban,
Who offered Rachel, with a plan,
Another seven years, he would toil,
To win Rachel's hand, his cherished foil.
Jacob agreed, for love so true,
He worked for years, his hope anew,
With steadfast faith, he pursued his love,
Endured the trials, from God above.
Genesis Chapter 29, a love's pursuit,
Jacob's determination, resolute,
He won his Rachel, in the end,
With patience, faith, and love to tend.
A story of love, enduring and pure,
A journey of faith, that would endure,
Genesis Chapter 29, a love's sweet tale,
Of Jacob and Rachel, a love that prevailed.
