We are like north and south,
light and dark,
sweet and sour,
moon and sun.
Until our opposite worlds
were united by love,
a relationship was made,
inside God’s hands.
A journey
with rough patches,
taught us
acceptance and forgiveness.
Through His words
we’re blessed to be here.
After fervent prayers,
our life together is now near.

Note: That gorgeous photo shows my best friend Ericka and her husband Mark who exchanged the gift of vows just last Saturday! 🙂
The poem is a piece I wrote for them for their wedding invitation. 🙂

In response to Monday Morning Melts #6: Humbug by Owl City. This is a prompt I am co-hosting with my dear friend Jade! ❤
I think from now on I will keep a box of tissues always handy when I read your posts. This, dear Rose…I can’t even express how beautiful it is. I’m out of words as I almost always am 😀 Congratulations to the lovely couple. That photograph should be framed. It’s a gorgeous picture 🙂
