With bodies intertwined they climbed together to the peak Then slowly they descended, bodies trembling, bodies weak From weakness grew a bond of strength cemented by their love With love, ecstatic dreams were shared With love's emotion fears were bared With love the two were one With hopeful hearts they travelled oér a plain of wedded life And though at times their paths were barred by sadness and by strife From strife evolved a need to share, from sadness friendship grew Though love took them through rocky fields Still love produced its precious yields And still the two were one For years they climbed the mountain and most times they reached the top And, if they'd reach a precipice they simply couldn't stop To bridge each gap they had to face, the two would struggle on For love had bound them by a force That could not profit by divorce And still the two are one. by © Barbara A.
