The Miracle of Marriage
CXXXVIII
The miracle of marriage is for real
No magic like an ever after tale
A mystic rite that has a fuzzy feel
A myth as fair Verona's fate will fail
For very deeply rooted in our soul
A selfish pride that makes impossible
To share our life with one is not our goal
It is in truth love's greatest obstacle
He came to grace a simple wedding feast
And by his word turned water into wine
A sign of greater cause he meant was this
He came to change us by his power divine
For as a tree unchanged will grow new boughs
A love that alters not yet alters those
Who at the altar kneels with solemn vows
And bows to him to bless the life they chose
The real miracle of marriage is
To give yourself to only one is bliss
