True love is like a vast, rolling sea.

Waves low or high, it calms or churns;

adjusts with ever-changing tides-

     forever balanced by deep commitment. 


Commitment is like a vast endless sky.
 
Days bright or gray, it shines or mists;

adjusts with ever-changing clime-

     forever balanced by true, lasting love.
