A Marital blessing

Bridal veil lifted from the eyes.
A new perspective that they find.
Illusion gone innocence lost
given over in love, the threshold
is now crossed.
So sweet so pure so divine.
Reciprocated joy within their eyes.

A lovers embrace, passions that burn
like embers in the fire.
Ignite the flames that dance and play.
Competing with the moonlight
to cast light and shadows there,
upon the bed they both share.

A marital blessing that they now know,
as the love both share does grow.
Day by day, year by year they learn how
a family is born lives loves learns, knows victory and defeat
has sorrows it bears. Through pain and loss, renewal
and hope still they continue to grow.
After all the years tears they shed for what was suffered
borne with dignity instead of losing hope their hope they clung to it
stronger still,  until the fruition of it they now see and feel.
An anniversary they now celebrate.
It was love at first sight on their first date until now this very day!
