ENTWINED

Oh heart of hearts
Life of life
Love of love
Graciously has thou acceded
To join me in that which all men crave
Your countenance in blessing nods
Happiness joy embraces
Kindness flows from your charm
Enchanting your winning smile
from lips so perfect made
Your eyes the spark of heaven shows
For within you naught but goodness glows
Your Being with wisdom filled
Understanding, comprehension, empathy
freely radiate forth as beacons of your Will
I truly cannot but wonder
How this miraculous fortune has come my way
My Heart, My Love, My Life
You have made me so happy this day.
