THE PROMISE
I see the face of God In the one I love Bride and groom In prayer we gaze Into each other's eyes The face of God Shining there Love breaking through What a sacred thing it is To seek and find the face Of the one you love In the intimacy Holy Matrimony Flesh and sweat Bone and soul To become familiar with The distinctive Voice Sound of the beloved's Very person The other entering The front door Particular footfall God in all of this Presence promised On the altar Promise of heaven In our daily bread Broken Sometimes torn apart Given and Restored (Galway 2016)
