Love and Marriage

Though we have so short a life,
let our paths together be.
Two is one, husband and wife,
me for you and you for me.
Let no other shake our love,
nor fate tempt us e'er to part,
blessed as if by hea'en above,
truth in soul and truth in heart.
And thus if doubts the future brings, 
they'll be as nothing on the air, 
for by my side my partner sings,
of that love we will always share.
Oh, yes, I know my love is true,
and in that truth our souls do shine,
and so I want you, yes, I do,
even until the end of time.

I've really been enjoying your story your characters and storytelling are fantastic. Honestly, I think it would work incredibly well as a manga or webtoon and could help you reach an even bigger audience. I'm a commission-based manga/webtoon artist, and I'd love to help bring your story to life if you're ever interested. Feel free to reach out at gm@il: [email protected] inst@ akiraa_artly

Thanks for sharing this... exposing your thoughts through your unique poetic style. Meanwhile, I greet you with the love of the Lord, expressed by John 3:16 of the Bible, "For God so loved the world, that he gave his only begotten Son, that whosoever believeth in him should not perish, but have everlasting life." Be blessed.
