Spirit Watcher

Vows of love, simply given,

are never enough, my love.

To have and to hold

is but a beginning.

To love and to cherish,

only begins life’s adventure.

I give you warmth

that you may know love

will never grow cold.

I give you memories

you will always remember.

I give you a glorious wealth

of never-ending experiences.

I give you my life,

that you know you are always protected.

I give you the purest of water

that you will never know thirst.

I will hunt for the purest of food,

that hunger will never strike you.

I give you shelter

to be more than just a home.

I give you strength,

to surpass all weakness.

I give you understanding

that you know you are my equal.

I give you hope,

when you believe all hope is lost.

Vows of love run deep, run strong;

to honor and obey is a sacred trust.

Until death us do part,

is but a physical ending.

I will honor you as I do,

with nature’s blessing.

I will obey your guidance,

as truth is the ultimate emotion.

As year’s pass

and age takes command,

our wrinkled eyes and smiles

will have seen us through life’s mysteries.

When death sweeps us away,

I will know all I have done,

I have done for you.

So say I always.

Your Spirit Watcher.
