Said vehement by some, true love a paper trail
Shredded on the journey and on the wind set sail
But there are different feelings about a partnership
To be a greater bonding, agreement made by lip

At times unorthodox and pure of body and of soul
A giving without taking, two parts that make one whole
A choice to stand beside someone, through distance without doubt
Respect that travels on through all the trials that life shells out

A right and left of hands, in service and in kind
To heal what hurts inside, to soothe the tired mind
And faithful to the core by choice the self benign
Distinct to be a soul support, beyond the dotted line

To nourish and to hold in pleasure and in pain
The shelter from the cold, the burn of sun or deluge rain
A thinker of the pleasant, a player in the sand
A builder of tomorrow, taking dreams right by the hand

For what is made of gold cannot be made of wood
And only in the treasure can the gem of love be good
Unbounded and unqualified, the heart will choose in love
And each must choose to the degree we hold this pledge above

Kay, lots of good points here. No, one
does not have to be married to have the
same values, principles and degree of love
and commitment with another. Well said
in your always enjoyable fashion.
