A lasting union

CAROL CHAPIN LINDSEY

Love wedded to its own—
husband molding thought to Soul,
wife binding hers to same—
this is the heart
of marriage,
what God has joined:

Love wedded to its own.
This rock of higher harmony
and might endures the strain
of dailiness, temptation,
time,
and trauma.

Love wedded to its own—
completeness, known and shared,
generates fulfillment, joy,
and forges individual lives
into a larger life
that holds.
