One Flesh

What began so small
has become so great,
what once was two
has been joined as one;

one love,
one life,
one truth,
one flesh.

You are the one
my heart desires,
you are the one
who makes me whole,
when you laugh I laugh,
when you cry I cry,
without you I would be lost,
without you I would be alone;

without you I would be incomplete.

No one but you and I
understand this great
and magnificent miracle,
this deep and hidden mystery
that our life has truly been,
a beautiful, wondrous, blessing of God
for which I give continual thanks.

What God has joined together
let no one put asunder,
as it was in the beginning
so shall it be in the end.
