Promissory Note

A priceless dowry 
my love I gave for you
a purchase
so costly
you would know
my love was true
from the very heavens
the bride price went out
that you my love 
rest assured and never doubt
eternity by my side
you will remiain
all that is to be mine
and to share my reign
I have sought for you 
from the very start
my perfect match
with a loyal heart
with joy received me
and learned about our ways
though the promise was made
in the earliest of days
my songs for you
are filled with gems to treasure
I sent them with messengers
that you might my truth to measure
