Love each other fully

May a man love you fully
And forever remain entwined
With a beautiful deep felt love
That shows your union Divine
May he shower you with kisses
With hugs and cuddles and warmth
May he remember that you're perfect
And be your companion and support
In times of struggle and doubt
In times of illness and heartbreak
To soothe and heal and rest
Your body, heart and soul's aching
And in turn may you be his strength
His courage and convictions
His compass and his guide
His mirror and intentions
That you ebb and flow with ease
That you grow and bloom and thrive
Together as a perfect union
In the imperfections made gold in life
Time will test your mettle
Time will test your hope
Time will test your patience
Time will test your coping
You'll need to choose each other every day
Show love and kindness and care
Remind each other with your actions
Your consistency and fairness
For when you love each other fully
When you're authentic and you're brave
You'll hold each other as you rise
Create a legacy of Faith and Grace

What do you do when you've hit "the wall"
When there's no stamina left and your hope has stalled?
Do you scream at the top of your lungs,
Do you wring your hands that have been many times wrung?
Do you shake your fists at the heavens
or do you take a step back and learn the lesson?
This lesson that can be learned only through endurance
and clinging to the calm assurance
That this present problem will test your mettle
So that in the future you will not settle
For anything less than complete victory
Despite the odds and despite the injuries
Just as a blacksmith strikes the steel
until its shape and strength have become ideal
So too are we "struck" and formed divine
by these troubles we have been assigned
