This poem is inspired by the wonderful verses created by true love--- and all those who try to memorize the words.

They say that you have to be careful what you wish for…
Because you might just receive it. However, it is because of my belief in this old adage that I think you and I were brought together finally.
I say finally because it was neither by fate or some coincidence that we came together--- you were heaven-sent. And that I know because nothing else could explain the love that I have for you, and you for me.

Our lives were narrow paths full of life’s briars and thorns that would have made it unbearable if I had not known that someday someone as special as you would come my way.

Now together we bring not only our experiences in life, but our knowledge of why love and marriage are divine instruments meant only for those who want to be trained to use them. And so we have begun our class. Our first semester of forever that can never be outgrown or repeated too many times.

Hand in hand, we know that only love and integrity can grow when we use what we have been given to show others what could be in store for them, if they only believe. And so finally our talents of drawing and music have found their rightful harmony together. Because as we continue to play the music of our love and draw from the feelings within us both, we continue to receive the work of art that will be seen as another of our Creator’s masterpieces.
