Romance

Our hearts—

a rose bouquet

tilled by rain

yet rooted in God’s promise,

soil that has transformed the storms

to life

that our love may be glorified

in the dawn

breaking before us--

possibilities once shrouded in shadows,

lush valleys wrought from yearning and fear,

veils parted to reveal His light

dancing on the sea

beckoning us--

Come

Walk on the waters.

Let our hearts be clasped in prayer,

Our lips touching in praise,

as we reach toward

the Son.

Our matrimony is an orchard

laden with treasures rooted in clay

that our love be reflected

in the eyes of God

and etched in eternity.
