Love Poem: His Face Aglow

His Face Aglow

our fingers touched by candlelight and set our hearts aflame his face aglow, a tenderness too gentle to name our passions were ignited, hoping never to tame bold in our endeavors, playing love's sweet game coming through light and darkness, true love overcame with wedding vows, to God with us, we sacredly proclaimed our marriage shined as two souls became one and the same blessed with a son, a family portrait shimmers in a frame our love story began so long ago by a candle flame a beacon in the darkest night our hearts proudly exclaim
