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 bow-knot
must bound itself.
An ocean’s water and salt
do not flow separately,
but together as one wave;
yet the water remains water
and the salt remains salt.
So must be the flow
of the bow of your love
in the ocean of marriage:
1 x 1 = 1 upon life’s shore.
Forever may your union be
like the sun and the moon:
an ember of life-giving life
to your blessed oneness.
Know that love is eternal
and cannot be transformed;
she is and can only be
who and what she is: Love.
Know that the grace of love
is of God—impervious—
and surpasses all things:-
May you forever be bless
to sip grace from love’s saucer;
her cup…forever overflowing.
