To the Couple Newly Married

by K. Leigh

How sweet must be

The life you see

That has just now begun.

How happy too

Are both of you

To know that you belong.

The fragrance sweet

From vows to meet

Each other's needs is strong.

The chords of life

Show little strife

'Til time has made them long.

Be patient then

And don't give in

To a different song.

Take time to share

In every care

Don't push aside a need.

When troubles blow

Let God's love flow

Where'er your hearts might bleed.

He knows just what

You need to strut

A marriage that will last.

You'll understand

His guiding hand

Holds future, now, and past.

So do not fret

Or make a bet

About your marriage state.

Just look to God

Who made this sod

And watch what He'll create.
