The Bonds Of Love
By Tara N. Walker
5/12-13/2001
Loving hearts are bound together,
Like the interlaced fingers of two hands.
They will never come apart, nothing can break the bond.
This bond is God's, no Man's.
The bonds of love do not resemble shackles or chains,
They are not something that holds you back.
They set you free, so that you are able to do whatever you want to do,
giving you freedom that we otherwise lack.
The bonds of love do not drag us down,
But lift us higher and higher above the clouds.
They take the ashes of our souls and replace them with joy,
They come and give us smiles, where once there were frowns.
The bonds of love work many miracles and wonders,
Breaking our hearts and then mending them again.
The bonds of love bind together our hearts,
And protect us like and old friend.
