May this ring, which has no beginning or end, emphasize the constancy and stability of genuine love--a love that surmounts time, change, and adversity.
My True-Love Hath My Heart by Sir Philip Sidney (1554-1586)
My true-love hath my heart, and I have his,
By just exchange one for another given:
I hold this dear, and mine he cannot miss,
There never was a better bargain driven:
My true-love hath my heart, and I have his.
His heart in me keeps him and me in one,
My heart in him his thoughts and senses guides:
He loves my heart, for once it was his own,
I cherish his because in me it bides:
My true-love hath my heart, and I have his.
Kristin, we welcome you with open arms to encircle you with our love,
Grandma and Grandpa Follmer
