Wholeness Means Wellness
In celebration of Paul and David’s Wedding
Wholeness often
requires moments of celebration.
Years of faithful
partnership culminate in a champagne toast.
Culture rights wrong
conclusions after contemplation.
Love rises up in
truth’s presence, humbly stated not in boast.
Often marriage
begins, “In the presence of God and these witnesses…”
Then again, love
summons two people well before the service.
Delighting in each
other, these men endure countless stresses.
Kind hearted servants par excellence, willing
to make liars nervous.
Creator uses
magnificence to go about the daily chore.
Spirit constantly
summons all living to engage their skills.
Word Become Flesh
never hesitated to open wide love’s door.
Trinity requires
humble presence, belief, submission of wills.
This official
beginning pronounces our infantile state.
Two individuals
become one, happens only with God’s math.
Church, culture,
society, inclusiveness becomes a trait.
None who would be
true followers can deny sin’s wrath.
Wellness reminds all
that life finds this moment true.
Fractured lives do
not bring joy, health shows its’ glow.
Community gathers to
keep these powerful men in view.
All faithful partners
rejoice in seeds of joy they sow.
Be assured, God
pervades all, embraces all, is the center.
Any choices we make,
directions we take, victories we win,
Must account for the
One who brings truth as our Mentor;
When all meet with
their Maker, we cast out sin.
Today sets a
foundational stone in life’s solid floor.
No stubbly crevice or
toe-catching lift, ‘tis servant smooth.
Because Word Become
Flesh leads these men who adore,
We can walk
alongside, work for justice, God’s truth.
May the future bring
joy, wholeness complete.
May our celebrations
build on this one, now done.
May Creator be
praised who knows no defeat.
May we constantly
find joy, the victory’s won.
The Rev. Ronald Allen Melver, M.Div.
