IN THE TIED BOW OF ETERNAL LOVE
     (Apropos Of You And Yours)


       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:-

 

(Apropos Of You And Yours) 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.
