IN THE TIED BOW OF LOVE

Yesterday, you were two,
Today, you've become one;
A single string, knotted
Into a bow of eternal love:-

As trials and tribulations
test and tease your string,
The tighter the boe-knot
Must bind itself:-

An ocean's salt and its water
Do not flow in separation; 
Rather, they flow as one wave:
Yet, the water remains water
And the salt remains salt:-

Thus must be the flow
Of the bow of your love
In the ocean of marriage:
1 x 1 = 1 frothing wave:-

Let your union ever be
Like the sun and the moon:
An embered reflection of
Life-giving life in blessed oneness:-

Know that love is eternal
And cannot be altered;
She is and can only be
Who and what she is: LOVE!

Always know that love is of God,
Impervious, and surpasses all things;
May you forever be blessed
To sip divine grace from love's saucer:
Her divine cup forever overflowing:-
