May your love be an ever-flowing river –
sometimes calm, sometimes wild,
but always moving you closer
to the heart of what matters.

May you speak each other’s names
like sacred words,
and listen to each other’s truths
as if they are prayers.

shared meals, quiet mornings,
forgiveness without keeping score.
