Unity

Before I Said “I Do”

Our love is not
some
Five & Dime Store
romance;
Hot sizzles that quickly
fizzle.
When trials come,
inevitable in life,
we stand,
back to back,
trusting…
Able to lean
for support,
protection.
Together,
fingers intertwined,
outward demonstration
of our interwoven hearts;
shared strength.

When the world gets crazy,
Everything topsy turvey,
we hold to each other,
find shelter
from the storm.
I am your anchor,
you, my compass.
Together,
never lost.
As waves calm,
we sit,
peacefully,
side by side,
your arm ’round my back,
my head on your shoulder;
silent joy.
Appreciate beauty
in the life we’ve made.

Happy Valentine’s Day to all the lovers in the world. Remember-true love doesn’t start or end with just one day. I love you all for the way you’ve welcomed me and included me. Thanks!
