“Just as these grains of sand can never be separated and poured again into their individual containers, so will your marriage be." Unknown ************************************************************** Sand Promises In a shrine amidst relatives and friends We pour sands in a silver plate of our dreams Making promises to be as one man, Whether in wintry gales or summer beams. As the coloured sands blend and are entwined, We promise, with the fire as eye witness, To pursue our life`s journey with one mind And reach our shared destiny in finesse. It`s a promise to build our home of love On the rocks of trust with the sands of hope And the flame of faith flaring from above To guide our path when treading a tightrope. Two folks with our souls blended and entwined We`re now geared up in life`s journey to shine.
