The Blessing of Marriage

by Emily
(North Carolina, USA)

The creation of all in existence,
was completed when man received life.
But soon the first man became lonely,
so the father then gave him a wife.

The blessing of marriage was first bestowed,
along with this command:
"Be fruitful and multiply; cover my earth.
Bring forth children, the gift of my hand."

The union of a blessed marriage,
is a pure and beautiful sight.
The example of God's loving-kindness,
displaying his wonderous light.

Through marriage came all of humanity,
the fruits of God's covenant of love.
The results of unwavering faithfulness,
to the words of our father above.
