A Ring

It's a symbol of everlasting love,
A symbol of forces bigger than us from up above.
One's undying commitment and trust in another,
A special bond that never gives up hope or faith in the other.
We wear it to show our loyalty and to let others know we are taken.
This little band with a huge message that's never meant to be forsaken.
It's a kiss or a hug at the end of a long day,
It's a sympathetic heart when there is no longer anything to say.
It's a standard that has come unglued in the previous years,
A word taken to loosely - a huge commitment taken so lightly it now appears,
But for the lucky few, we take this commitment very serious.
We know everything about our partner - nothing is held in or mysterious.
We care for our "better half" in ways we never thought we could.
Dream big things together - things we never thought we would.
We are in fact better with our other half.
They are what make life worth it - the things that make us smile and laugh.
In a cold world, it's nice to be able to look down
and remember that special day in your tux or wedding gown.
It's amazing what a gold band on your left index finger can mean.
It's not really about the beginning or end - it's about all the memories in between.
One life shared together.
