Two Rings Reunite In the Sky

[In Loving Memory of Pam and Roger Schulte]

Love can be found in the heavens up high, 
Look up to visit them, and be their guest-
As these two rings reunite in the sky.

Even if not seen by the human eye, 
These two lovers meet in an angel's nest-
Love can be found in the heavens up high.

The fingers of these two angels now tie, 
Having prevailed through every mortal test-
As these two rings reunite in the sky.

Their love still remains true; and they both sigh
As their hearts now beat in a single chest-
Love can be found in the heavens up high.

To ringing bells, now hand in hand they fly; 
In wedding clothes, they are forever dressed-
As these two rings reunite in the sky.

With this precious thought, let our eyes now dry; 
For to have known them, we've truly been blessed.
Love can be found in the heavens up high, 
As these two rings reunite in the sky.
