The Bonded Heart

For Stacey and Brianna

There are fingerprints, 

Owned by each heart, 

Unique as each soul,

Embraced by the moon,

For in that soft light,

Each heart seeks to find,

A mirror reflection,

In a dream strong and true.

Dreams are made real,

When the power of passion,

Brings such desires,

Into the world,

And such was the case,

When they found each other,

In the touch of the heart,

There was magic unfurled.

When they first did meet,

Their hearts did touch,

Each leaving impression,

Upon the other,

Two souls found,

The two became one,

For the fire of the heart,

Is like no other.

When the love became more,

For two hearts to bear,

Into this life,

A third heart came,

So full of joy,

So full of light,

Reflecting her parents,

Who gave her the same.

He gave her a symbol,

Unique and belonging,

Using his thumbprint,

To make a start,

So when she would add hers,

At an angle to his,

Their special imprints,

Did form a heart.

Through good days and bad,

Through laughter and tears,

On a journey of love,

They shared their life,

Until he received word,

That he would soon go home,

With six months left,

To be with his wife.

Two years have passed,

Yet  he is not gone,

For in his wife and daughter,

His love shines through,

And she wears this symbol,

Of their bonded heart,

For love defies boundaries,

Shining forever true.
