From 1 Corinthians 13:4-7: “Love is patient; love is kind; love is not envious or boastful or arrogant or rude. It does not insist on its own way; it is not irritable; it keeps no record of wrongs; it does not rejoice in wrongdoing but rejoices in the truth. It bears all things, believes all things, hopes all things, endures all things.”

Father smiles from above
Witnessing two people in love
Man sees sparkle in her eyes
Sharing heart, love’s necktie
Woman gifting her heart
Cherishing love’s treasured start
Tomorrow’s outlook brightens
Feeling love’s reins tighten
Spirit joins together
Fashioning love’s tether
Marriage vows expressing love
Walking with Christ above
Love’s most tender flower
Flourishing with every hour
Spirit’s eternal imprint
Sealing love’s fingerprint
Love maturing as one
Praising choices in God’s Son
Father blessing love’s fresh start
Bringing grace to each heart
New day welcomes sunrise
Affirming love’s highest prize
What wondrous love now received
Trusting what Father conceived

This poem comes from the hearts of two people who discovered each other nearly 20 years ago. With our faith nourished by God’s grace, He continues to walk with both of us.
— Richard and Colleen
God’s richest blessings to you and Colleen💕
