Our Love’s Anthem

I love him, he loves me…

We raise up our beautiful family,

To know that they are God’s light.

That their infinite worth can be carried with pride.

That ignorant eyes and misguided mouths can be pushed aside…

Because their hearts are humanity’s hope.

That the past belonged to others, and the present is ours.

But the future glimmers all the potential of endless midnight stars…

and they are a part of that.

 

He loves me, I love him.

We fight the good fight and the battles we win,

By clinging to the truth.

That the heart knows more than the skin can say.

That the soul carries the burdens of a long ago day…

And that our bond is stronger than those.

That offended whispers don’t make us weak to the world,

Because our strength is the love of a boy and a girl…

That God made just for each other.
