Some say marriage is at the heart of life
the chapter by which one’s story doesn’t just turn another page but takes a step forward
Actually, it’s a symbol of praise and exaltation
not just for one another but to the throne of God on high
as pages of pulp bind to leather and we are given a pen
so too does the maker of all things breathe wonder into the story of us all
There is but one ring that can bind a fantasy bound in the pages of life
to not be alone is meant to teach
that the heart of God for all creation is to hold it close
that the dedication to all that is good in this world
is that which is in His mind
and is not to be breached
The gift of sacrifice is constructed in the freedom of will
and finished with wonder from “I do” to breath’s final spell

The metaphor of binding pages and binding lives together is wonderfully crafted
The cadence of these lines reads almost like a prayer.
