In thought and Faith, we’ve heard how love’s defined:
to take another, all in all, and will
just as God sees; as if—oneself resigned—
some plan above, negation could fulfill.
But union calls for man to take his wife
as his own flesh; other, now not apart.
A promise made to build a common life:
to hold humility—only a start.
Yet offspring peers in not a placid soul:
new life reveals all reason couldn’t grasp.
For then agapic love shall form him whole;
simplicity, divine, leaves him agasp.
By you is he—in whom myself I see:
to co-create has set my worry free.
