Together

Like strands of a rope
we’re knotted together,
our lives interwoven,
inseparable and made stronger.

Like links in a chain
we’re connected by
our experiences,
our regrets and
our love – past, present and future.

Like spokes in a wheel
we are strong and balanced
when we stay tightly next to each other,
share the load of our lives
and help smooth out each other’s bumps along the way.

Like muscles attached to bones
our love works together
to move us through this world’s
ups and downs,
highs and lows
as we support and lean on one another.

Like a heart shared
by Siamese twins
our hearts no longer
beat for one,
but for two,
they beat in unison
with neither silent
at the same time,
sharing their melodious song of life
with each other.

May God allow us
to remain together
in all these ways and more,
now and forever.
