Three Words

In three words do lives entwine
A tapestry of climbing shoots and vines
Growing toward loves great light
Together strong against any plight
A man might wait for forty years
Until these crashing sounds he hears
So whenever spoken, quiet or loud
These three words should make you proud
Should make you meek and strive to be
Of this commitment, most worthy
What’s more, if this incantation comes
From the girl whose spirit you becomes
Then you’ve made it, found your goal
Your sun, your star, mate for your soul
In just three words said fleetingly
You can give of yourself completely
And so in return to you I say
I promise in word, in deed and every way
To be better than the day before
And love you for now and evermore
