Woman
You are the unknown, the mystery, the desire.
In you resides eternity, for only through woman
can mankind go on. Through you he is conceived,
and born, and nurtured, his whole life long.
In you he finds tenderness, forgiveness, compassion,
understanding and love. Your very touch can calm and heal,
guide and discipline. You can be trusted, depended upon,
and called upon in times of need.
But, alone, you are incomplete.
Man
You are the unknown, the mystery, the desire.
In you resides eternity, for only from you come the seeds of life.
Your children are conceived in either the tenderest
or most violent of moments and each is unique
yet carries some part of you into the future. You are the
embodiment of strength and protection. In you woman
hopes to find security, comfort, support, unbouned love,
understanding, and forgiveness. You too can be trusted, depended upon and called upon in times of need.
But, alone, you are incomplete.
Together
You can create the most intimate union, the most
beautiful children, the fairest decisions, the most
intelligent choices, and the strongest faith. Together
you can make a difference in each other, in your family, and in the world. For it is only in the joining with another that we ourselves grow and mature and reach heights beyond our wildest dreams.
Together you complete the circle of life, beginning, and ending, a sacred journey of discovery. May your circle never be broken but be ever widening as the ripples from your lives
reach out to touch the lives of others.
