As you join hands and hearts together
Your hopes and dreams become one
As you look into each others eyes,
You have awaken and stir up love
And it ravishes the heart.
This moment together, you and your
lover
Becomes countless treasure.
Together as one, spread your wings
The eagle’s buoyancy can take you
high,
In the presence of royalty.
Pounce and dance upon high places
For now you have hinds feet.
Possess the land, but as one
Your partner is an extension of
you.
Give yourselves, but only to each
other.
When you rest upon your bed
Use each other as pillows.
Comfort lies in the breast of your
partner and in no other.
Fill each other with the ecstasy
of love.
Romance the heart of each other,
Don’t take for granted the tears
of your lover,
But allow them to water the soil
for new growth.
Remember, you are your partner’s
keeper,
Protect and guard him with your
love.
Clothe each other with silk and
satin
And not with thorns my dear.
Multiply my dear, fill the earth
with your fruits,
So tasty and sweet, who will dear
not to eat.
Let the grass plain, the valleys
low, and the mountains high
Become the work of art for you
my dear,
Out of which can grow that perfect
tree.
Marriage can be a beautiful garden,
So tend it the way a gardener should.
In it there is no limit, so, reach
the unreachable
And touch the untouchable.
Sit back and relax, smell the fragrances
of love.
Together is forever my dear,
And that’s countless treasure.
