When examining the prospects of the heart
And the feelings that thrive within it,
The most glamorous of them all
Is the unified concept of unconditional love.
A concept so special that only a man and woman
Bound by the lock of holy matrimony can share it.
A matrimony that must possess a sincere
Growing relationship that will witness to the lives of others.
The love of which my hand details
Is comparable to only one other.
That which is the entire sanctification
That we receive from Christ Jesus, our Lord.
For both require the principal of gaining knowledge
Until the point at which no more can be gained.
Whether the knowledge of an unsurpassable love
Or the knowledge of a life completely devoted to God.
And so when unconditional love is finally achieved,
Nothing can hinder it, not trials nor temptations.
For a love of such complexity perseveres stronger
Than all the anxieties of the remaining world combined.
I pray that some day I will encounter this gift
And possess the warmth that it so freely distributes.
I will will spend my life in preparation for this wonder
And rejoice when I achieve unconditional love.
