Sand and surf set the stage in this beach promise love poem. It carries the theme throughout that when two people decide to become lifetime partners, they still retain their individuality, making their pairing even stronger.
Two unique souls combine to create their own love story, as they do in this joyful poem beside the sea.
We'll leap like dolphins through the waves
And soar like seabirds over the beach
Miles of life we'll travel together
For we are one made up of each
We'll roll down sand dunes, tickled by seagrass
Barefoot and giggling as we hit the beach
Seagulls mimic us with their laughter
For we are one made up of each
A quiet evening alone together
An ocean of moonbeams within our reach
Our dreams we cast into a sea of ripples
For we are one made up of each
A morning's sunrise glows like diamonds
Illuminating each grain of sand in its reach
We cast our footprints and mold our destiny
For we are one made up of each
Moonbeams, starlight and sun shine upon us
As we stand here today on the beach
With promises of love for a lifetime together
For we are one made up of each
