His Face Aglow
our fingers touched by candlelight and set our hearts aflame
his face aglow, a tenderness too gentle to name
our passions were ignited, hoping never to tame
bold in our endeavors, playing love's sweet game
coming through light and darkness, true love overcame
with wedding vows, to God with us, we sacredly proclaimed
our marriage shined as two souls became one and the same
blessed with a son, a family portrait shimmers in a frame
our love story began so long ago by a candle flame
a beacon in the darkest night our hearts proudly exclaim
