Before I got married,
I didn’t know the reality
That the easiest thing to grow
Would be apart.
Apart a little at a time
Until it makes a hole.
Before I got married,
I didn’t know the reality
That the hardest thing to grow
Would be a part.
A part a little at a time
Until it makes a whole.
Now that I am married,
I have learned this reality
But don’t always act as though
I want hardships, not a free ride.
I want to bridge and not divide
The hearts we pledged to tomorrow.
Now that I am married,
I am learning the reality:
The process has just begun.
A little at a time, part by part,
Bridge by bridge, heart to heart.
“Two shall, by grace, become one.”
