Wedding Vows

Witnessing before God, and taking your vow
Enter into marriage, forever starts now 
Devoted to each other, for all your life
Desiring no one, except for your wife
In sickness and in health, till death do you part
No one should come between you, right from the start
Giving of yourself, to make your family whole.

Value the sanctity, of both being “one”
Obstacles are there, for you to over come
Wedding vows are sacred, to show all your love
Straying away, is not meant from God above.

This requires a lot of thinking, Kelly. I am glad you're writing about this because it is a healing process. And you will heal, Kelly. If you ever need to talk-sometimes talking to a stranger is good-you have my e-mail. God bless you. Peace and love, Audrey
