til death do us part
12-09-2024
this is the day
the Lord has made.
you and i
became one.
not "like one",
not "as one",
but one.
in holy matrimony,
you and i came before
the One who destined this to be.
standing hand in hand,
gazing into each other's eyes,
you and i vowed
to make this a love
that will stand the test of time.
for better or for worse,
you took me as your bride.
in sickness and in health,
i took you as my husband.
five years manifested
as this inexplicable display
of our deepened love.
especially when we both said
those two words:
i do.
there is no more
questioning.
no more
distance.
no more
yearning.
there is only certainty.
i can arrive home
and sink into the dreams
i so prayed for.
i can rest assured:
God has plans for us,
that which i trust are wonderful.
my husband,
and i, your wife,
we will go far beyond
what is expected.
our love knows no bounds.
clearly.
time zones,
county lines,
oceans,
restrictions...
nothing kept us apart.
if only we knew...
though,
i think we did.
we would be proud.
just as i am today.
so here is to our new life
(married life)
to endless bliss
to love inexpressible
to you and me
i love you
