There is a bountiful harvest, enriched with all love
Where the mysteries of life connect from above
A season of promise, with rivers that flow
From the highest mountain, to the waters below

Abound in all joy, with reverence divine
Proceed to the place where souls intertwine
A threefold cord, yet two souls unite
With endless love, to the Father's delight

An enchanted rose, be granted to thee
Your dearly beloved, embraced splendidly
A foundation in God, a new gift of peace
A trust in his will, where all doubt will cease

The promise of God, the call of his command
Trust and be held in the palm of his hand
A covenant made, the exchanging of rings
Soaring upon these enchanted wings

Cherish therein, the dreams of each other
Exemplify a bond that few will discover
A solemn vow, new mercies to see
An honour established with humility

To have and to hold and welcome each other
An honourable day embracing each other
Proclaim the goodness that comes from above
May the both of you continue in love

Lovely poem of a true marriage (between a man and a woman as 'the promise of God' Would be good to be read at a wedding ceremony, or framed as a gift. Blessings, Vivien

Beautifully written, Geraldine. Very sweet. Considering half of all marriages end up in divorce, makes me wonder if people take their vows seriously. A marriage is kinda' like a garden. If you don't keep the weeds out, they will choke it to death. You have to work at it, if you want it to flourish.
