If it’s true that we create

our own lives

with our thoughts

and beliefs,

I choose this…

Let our love be unconditional,

let our lives reflect

only our faith

in each other,

only grace

as we hold each other

steadfast

through all we may suffer….

Let our eyes see

only beauty and strength

when we look upon

the face of another,

let our hearts hear only truth

hidden beneath

even the harsh words

spoken in pain…

Let this be real,

that in our moments

of joy

we turn first

to one another

giving everything we have

to offer,

and when tears prevail,

giving everything we have

to offer

still.
