If Two Souls Were Ever One
By Rich Reith



















Life made us strangers
But friends were made by love
Simple vows bonded hearts
on earth, and up above









Looking out upon loves ocean
Standing together on its shore
Knowing that it stretches
to forevermore.








Love altered both our paths,
and carried us safely home
To the wondrous place of surcease
Needing nevermore to roam.








It was love abolished loneliness
and filled our hearts with wonder
took our fright, our earthly cares
and tore them all asunder.








So stand with me and taste my love.
Let calm embrace your heart.
And vow to me, my love, my wife
that we shall never part.









For if two souls were ever one,
Those souls are mine and yours.
Bonded by God, bonded by love,
Living on sacred shores.
