This marriage is a sanctuary.
A coming home to myself.
An invitation to open my heart to another,
To myself, to God, and to the world.
I look around and about me
At the life we've created--
A home beneath the trees
Filled with light.
Our daughters' laughter;
Their budding selves safe
Between these walls.
What gratitude
For this life we are building here
With our love.
Sanctuary.
