In love
Each receiving from the other
What alone can not be received
A holy symphony
Each heart like a drum
Making sacred music
Together
May the breath you breathe
Bring joy
As your flesh becomes entwined
No longer two
But one
Seeing self in other
And other in self
Spirit entering the spirit
Like a great gush of wind
Enrapturing the soul
Together
May the path you walked alone
Now join
Each receiving from the other
The wisdom
To withstand and overcome
The trials of life
Looking to each other
To find the blessing
Contained in every cloudy day
Together
Finally
May you see each other as a gift
From God
Appreciating your differences
And handling each other
With care
Knowing that the whole
Is greater than the sum of its parts
As you spend your life
Together
amen
