So let’s be honest,

Sometimes our smiling photos

Hide another story,

Of fractured lives

Trying to make the best of things,

Of heartaches,

Of hidden tensions,

Words spoken and unspoken

Tell one story

And veil another,

Yet when we choose

To let love will win,

To let love overcome

And we are not hiding,

And when we choose life

As life has chosen us,

And when we see beyond the faults and flaws that irritate…

And bind each other carefully

Then healing begins,

And we travel together

Slowly becoming whole….
