for Leah

A spark is struck and love begins
it glows brighter, and more fervent in time’s shifting winds
They laugh and play and their love matures
The longing to be together, more than allure



Families gather, vows are exchanged,
God joins them together in His divine way.
Two hearts meld into one, as their new life begins
Man and wife forever, lovers and friends



Their love made manifest in physical form,
the product of love, a child is born.
Her beauty, spirit, and compassionate self
All traits that reveal her mother’s amazing wealth.



Our child is growing and soon will be gone,
Chasing her loves in life’s delicate song.
Well equipped for life I feel is she
Learning values, morals and that love is the key



Growing old together is my greatest of dreams
Each new day with you a blessing it seems
God joined us together, and till death do we part
Our love, ordained by God in Heaven, from the very start.
