A precious gift from heaven above
has been placed into our hands
in the joining of our lives.

And it is up to you, 
and it is up to I 
to do with this gift, 
what we will.

"Cherish, and nurture, 
and care for this gift
with all our power and strength, 

to make it the best it can be",
I say, shall we do, 
if have me, my way,

and much the same
I hear you say,
in your eyes,
and in your touch.

The keys to the Kingdom,
we have to us been handed,
and it is now up to us

to provide the nourishment
and sustenance and cultivate 
to sustain.
