When once your single state of life is changed <br />By sacred Marriage vows and carnal ties, <br />You never from spouse ever be estranged; <br />The nuptial bond before God never dies. <br /> <br />To each other, you owe your fidelity, <br />And mutual understanding reigns supreme; <br />The union is for life’s eternity! <br />’Tis real and never becomes a dream. <br /> <br />And Marriage is a Sacrament for man! <br />No power on earth dare separate the two; <br />The hearts and bodies harmoniously can <br />Withstand all things attempting to undo. <br /> <br />With how many hearts can one heart unite? <br />The Sun has just the same Moon every night!<br /><br />Dr John Celes<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/sonnet-marriage-is-forever/
