I CAN RELATE, MY FRIEND. WHAT A HONORED BOW YOU HAVE RENDERED TO THAT RICH AND FRAGRANT, AND CERTAINLY PRICELESS...GIFT OF LOVE! A TOUCHING OFFERING EXPOSING A TREASURE THAT IS NEVER UNREACHABLE BUT ALWAYS THERE FOR THOSE WHO HAVE EARNESTLY SOUGHT AND ARE BLESSED TO FIND IT. BRAVO AND, AMEN! LOVE,BLESSINGS AND FAITH...HIS+INSPIRATIONS

Our natural born love was meant to continue the species by bringing young people together through personal selection to have children. There was no guarantee of that love continuing and it often didn't.

But you have written of a higher love. A love born of necessity where two people find that their needs match perfectly by another. When that happens, in the words of the marriage ceremony… "Nothing can put it asunder."

May this magic love you have for one another carry you through the rest of your lives.

This is a lovely poem that speaks VOLUMES about your marriage. Yes, it should be until death due us part. Yes, this is our way as well. May your BEST years be ahead, and blessings overflow your marriage with happiness and peace. Amen

I love this poem! Love is the most Powerful force on earth!!

Many of us write of love, often giving it an imagined reality, wanting not to see a bubble pop. In this rendering of love's essence, there is wisdom and both religious and secular value... not an easy accomplishment. As you spoke of love finding its maturity only after disappointments with previous efforts was courageous. Giving literary value to love, mature love, is a task many of us... myself included attempt with various results. Your quintessential grouping of text was in the last line, where you provide unique imagery of love... it is a state of reality, not necessarily housed in an object. An object, a man or woman is a vessel capable of "being in love with you," i.e., two people finding love as a state of mind and heart needing not a particular object to bestow such feelings on, but experiencing a realm reserved for few. Although, having a partner to share it with, well, that is truly icing on the cake. Kudos.
