Once there was a ribbon br a single red ribbon br two gold rings threaded. br Upon either end. br br Upon a silver tray br were rings placed br with silver scissors br beside a single red rose. br In token symbol br of love everlasting br tender young love br beauty still held at bay. br br Once there were two hearts br lonely grief striken hearts. br Hanging lost separate lives br like loose hanging threads. br As rings were tied br so were their lives. br As rings were sealed br in red threaded ties. br br br Rings must be taken. br Placed awaited longing finger. br Symbolically joining two forsaken. br Could no longer isolated linger. br br Red ribbon cut br in a free easy moment br two joined in symbol br never free when apart. br Witness joining of two br could not be apart. br Symbolically spiritually two br already entwined deeply at heart. br br Once there was a ribbon br a single red ribbon. br Two could not be apart br never were they apart. br With a love that outlasts br frail human heart. br With a love that outlasts br the very beats of their synchronized hearts.
