Two become as one,
Body and soul,
Partners of like minds
And fleshly bodies.

Apart
They long to be together.

Reunited
They rejoice,
Working in peace together,
Sharing their thoughts
Of past, present, and future.
Reaching out with a loving touch,
Sleeping entwined together
At the close of the day.
Waking in the morning
To gaze in wonder
At the incredible gift
Miraculously placed in their life.

Contented
Secure in the enfolding arms
Of the love that sustains
It's like living in paradise.
