Day #44
[She Speaks:] I am merely a rose from the land of Sharon, a lily from the valley.
[He Speaks:] My darling, when compared with other young women, you are a lily among thorns.
[She Speaks:] And you, my love, are an apple tree among trees of the forest. Your shade brought me pleasure; your fruit was sweet.Song of Solomon 2:1-3
Lord, strengthen the bonds of affection between husbands and wives. May we learn to speak fluently each other’s languages of love. May there be music and moonlight and love and romance; and after the poetry of the dance, may there be spaghetti Bolognese and the putting up of shelves.
Amen.
