these rings that lie together
in the palm of my hand
symbolize eternity
each a solid unbroken band
like our love, there’s no beginning
for our love has always been
and will go on forever
a circle without end
I place my ring upon your finger
as you place your ring on mine
and our hands are joined forever
our hearts together for all time
