Wedding Gift

Now before the "I do's", I have a gift for you ", the wedding guest said with a smile.
It's a simple thing really,a promise to keep daily to deflect those oncoming trials.
There will be times in your life as husband and wife 
When challenges with each other you will face.
Should this come to be ,and it will you see, for that's called the oneness place.
To address one another while loving each other with sensitive patience and care.
Talking plain while remembering that love is the glue you share.
So to help you both keep those hurtful,painful, cutting ,selfish words at bay, promise to store them away for a more appropriate day,
When is the ideal day to release the words you've saved?
Promise each other to reserve these words for that day when you stand by their grave.
I think you'll find that they will be lost by that time in the loving memories you've paved.
Promise each other today ,remember it every day and life will richer all the way to the grave.
