Boo

"This is now bone of my bone and flesh of my flesh; She shall be called woman because she
was taken out of man." 
"Therefore shall a man leave his father and his mother and shall cleave onto his wife and
they shall be one flesh." 
(genesis chapter 2 verses 23 & 24)


One flesh, one bone, all one body and soul,
onto our lives it is now just you and I, my wife.

All my pride comes from you,  boo.
You complete me!!

Baby, we are meant to reach the heavens together.
Meant to hold our vows well onto our spiritual journey.

Spread your canvas let me paint our love, 
open your mind, what I know is not enough.

Everlasting devotion, is the meat of my vow.
I'm am yours for eternity, if you'll allow

Long walks on the beach, our picnic under the willow tree.
You're the inspiration behind so much of my poetry.

" And Adam called his wife Eve because she was the mother of all the living."
(genesis chapter 3 vs 20)

This is SO NICE, Jared. What a lucky wife you have. By the way, I really would like to try your mirrored refrain but I am always just doing so many things in my life. Hopefully I will make time for it by the deadline. I love trying new forms and it looks like a challenge! LUv,Andrea
