One Flesh

“Haven’t you read,” he replied, “that at the beginning the Creator ‘made them male and female,’ and said, ‘For this reason a man will leave his father and mother and be united to his wife, and the two will become one flesh’? So they are no longer two, but one flesh. Therefore what God has joined together, let no one separate.” Matthew 19:4-6

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.
