This Marriage, Three

An Anniversary Present

This Marriage, Three.....

 

We are Three,

You and I.

Where I go,

God stands by

 

You married me;

He stands with us.

We join together

I give him my trust.

 

In one marriage

We made a family

We raised our children

We offered them

A united front

A three-legged chair

Of leadership provided most fair

 

As we exchanged rings

Golden circles of infinity

Sparkled in the light

bonds of marriage forged

with respect, compassion

bonds resolutely cast

bonds formidable to last

 

Vows were said, promises kept

Together forever, eternity swept

Father, Son, and the Holy Spirit

Ever present, always

Three in one, eternally

 

He stands with us in times of stress

He stands with us in times of strife

He stands with us to shape our life

He holds fast in storms most rife

 

He comes unbidden in the night

to reassure me until morning’s light

holds my hand and calms my fears

of work and stress, without the tears

 

He strengthens you in silence, wait

He warms my heart with love and faith

He is our third, our silent part,

He rights the wrongs that wound our heart

 

He is our silent partner

With wisdom undenied

Ever present in eternity

Always certain and sublime

 

Rock strong in his fortitude

Forgiveness limitless

He is our Holy Father

The third person

of our pair.

This is über amazing, Anne. Simply stunning, I loved how you've written this one.
Describing what sounds to be a perfect marriage and having Him with you wherever you look.
This is so powerful, honestly there are no words to articulate how stunning this is.

You amaze me with your talent, I honestly love your work!
Miss you, hugs!

[Bright Ocean Star]

awwee, you're going to make me blush bright red! Thank you, Sye!

[Bright Ocean Star]

I am so happy you like this one. God needs to be your life partner. He is so much easier to get along with than human husbands sometimes!

Beautiful piece. I love he parallelism between Father, Son and Holy Ghost with your own trilogy.

Lovely tribute.

[Bright Ocean Star]

Thank you, rubie. I deeply appreciate your time reading and reviewing this one. It's always nice to see you here.

[jacob erin-cilberto]

yes, the silent partner...this is so beautiful...like redoing the marriage vows within a poem...

[Bright Ocean Star]

I just wanted to remind him that it isn't just the two of us leading our crew. We have a very powerful partner who will see us through all the lows and highs that might befall us. He is not a believer, but that doesn't make God any less real or integral in our lives. Thank you, Jacob!

Lovely and spirit-lifting. Nothing completes the peace and happiness of two loved ones like loyalty to the divine. Happy anniversary to you and your life-companion. Thank you for posting this write.

[Ena Lona Kendra]

awe. I like it. :) I wish my boyfriend knew what I thought of him

[Bright Ocean Star]

Thank you, Ena...:) I appreciate you kind words... Thanks for dropping in to read it.

[MomzillaNC]

Love founded in Faith. Perfect.

[Bright Ocean Star]

Thank you, MZ! I deeply appreciate you reading this one. Any more movement on Xander?

[MomzillaNC]

You’re welcome. Yes and no. I’ve figured out the big dramatic scene to get him cleared of the charges. But, I haven’t figured out the testimony presentations that have to happen first.

[Bright Ocean Star]

Have you been spending time in courthouses listening to actual cases to help tease it out?

[MomzillaNC]

A bit :(

[Bright Ocean Star]

I'm proud of you, MZ. You are a very gifted writer, and a wonderful person. It will come.

[MomzillaNC]

Thanks. :)

[Michael G. Smith]

Absolutely beautiful. I especially like the eternity part. What begs the question that those you sight "till death do you part" must not hold true authority to marry us into the eternities, unless it's only binding upon the earth and not into the beyond.

[Bright Ocean Star]

thank ypu, michael.

[fattycbreezy52]

This is a mainstream reality turned into an amazing dedication to HIM.
I love your strong belief in him.
A straight-from-the heart construction:)

Oh, thank you, fair moon daughter! I am always so happy to see you drop in and read your wonderful reviews. I am very happy you liked this little one. It was very difficult to write, for some reason. I am glad you liked it...:)
