“And now these three remain: faith, hope, and love. But the greatest of these is love.” 1 Corinthians 13:13 (NIV)
The Ring
Polished facets capture the light
and sparkle
Exactly like the glint in your eye when you
asked again.
Its still new weight against
my skin
an ever-present reminder of the anchor you are
in my life.
Encircling my finger
unbroken
Just as the cycle of seasons we’ve weathered and
been renewed in.
Presented in a box
a pretty jewel.
But on my hand
a beautiful symbol
of…
Vows spoken in our youth but lived
across time,
Commitment ever renewed, withstanding
the ebb and flow of our story, and
Love evolved, strengthened, and protected
by Him,
who perfectly led me
to you.
