Marriage

---

Be not jealous, my husband.
Try hard to understand.
I've pledged my love to Another
And given Him my hand.

Be not dismayed, my husband.
I've given Him my heart.
I vowed to love Him forever;
From Him I'll never depart.

Be not angry, my husband,
When to His arms I flee.
'Tis there I learned of faithfulness...
My dearest gift to thee.

Be not frightened, my husband.
He is no threat to you.
"Go my child," He said to me,
"Love thy husband true."

Be ye thankful, my husband.
He taught my heart to sing.
A life of love, of joy and peace
Now to you I bring.

Be reassured, my husband.
My joy is being your wife.
I'll bring you honor and loyalty
All the days of my life.

Be not jealous, my husband.
Our lives are richly blessed.
Because His love I did embrace,
I love you more... not less.


This poem was a gift to my husband on our 25th wedding anniversary.
