To have and to hold
To otherwise keep
It is a promise
Of commitment deep
A promise eternal
Forever and a day
Forsaking all others
Never to stray
Simple words full of meaning
Full of hope – bright
On each other leaning
Come whatever might
Padre

This is absolutely lovely!! ❤️

An all-important promise to keep, and one which many people forget these days. Marriage vows are indeed simple words full of meaning. Thank you for reminding us.

I like the sentiment here Padre! 🙂
Words spoken full voiced
At the time loud and strong
But too often choked upon
When challenge comes along
