Love's Vows

These words are carved upon my heart
they say, "Till death us do part"

with trembling voice and tear stained face
the words were said and rings took place

The people gathered there rejoiced
to hear love's vows, given voice

and the love that brought us there that day
has grown so strong, it's here to stay

through the happiness, strife, joys and sorrows
our love endures all of life's tomorrows

These words are burned into my soul
they say, "I plight thee my troth"

and that promise still burns hot and true
for my one and only love is you.

For my loving husband, James David
