Turtle Doves

“The flowers appear on the earth, the time of singing has come, and the voice of the turtledove is heard in our land.�

Song of Solomon 2:12

Turtle Doves Meaning: The Turtle dove is a bird that in legendary texts, represent devoted love.

There is a close association between true lovers and Turtle Doves.

These birds stay with their partners for their lifetime.

Hence, they symbolize loyalty and faith.

The Old Testament refers to this bird in one of its best, oldest and famous love poems.

They have also been commonly referred to in classical and modern literary and poetic works by Edmund Spenser, Shakespeare as well as Buddy Holly.

Yes, I D The first time ever I saw your face I thought the sun rose in your eyes and the moon and the stars Were gifts you gave To the dark and the endless skies My love w .lyricsmode.com/lyrics/r/roberta_flack/the_first_ time_ever_i_saw_your_ The first time ever I kissed your mouth I felt the earth move in my hands Like the trembling heart of a captive bird That was then at my command My love

Do!

The first time ever I lay with you I felt your heart so close to mine And I knew our joy would fill the earth And last till the end of time My love The first time ever I saw your face Your face Your face Your face

Yes, I D

Do!

There isn’t much that I can say About the way I felt that day When I looked upon your smile And I gazed into your eyes…

Praying you’ll walk my way Even if it’s just to say…

Who am I kidding?

I hoped and pray you’d do more than say…

Tell me who you are Confirm what I know to be Let me hear your thoughts Tell me that your “he” That God has promised The one to take my hand The one, for God has not forgotten The one – yes my man My soul’s companion My lifetime friend My intimate partner The one to me God has lent.

My love, I have tried with all my being to grasp a form comparable to thine own, but nothing seems worthy; I know now why Shakespeare could not compare his love to a summer’s day.

It would be a crime to denounce the beauty of such a creature as thee, to simply cast away the precision God had placed in forging you.

Each facet of your being whether it physical or spiritual is an ensnarement from which there is no release.

But I do not wish release.

I wish to stay entrapped forever.

With you for all eternity.

Our hearts, always as one.

The Day before You I had all but given up on finding the one that I could fall into On the day before you I was ready to settle for less than love and not much more There was no such thing as a dream come true But that was on the day before you Now you’re here and everything’s changing Suddenly life means so much I can’t wait to wake up tomorrow and find out this promise is true I will never have to go back to the day before you In your eyes I see forever and it makes me wish that my life never knew the day before you Oh, but heaven knows those years without you were shaping my heart for the day that I found you And if you’re the reason for all I’ve been through then I’m thankful for the day before you

Yes, I D Now you’re here and everything’s changing Suddenly life means so much I can’t wait to wake up tomorrow and find out this promise is true I will never have to go back to the day before you It was the last day that I ever lived alone And I’m never going back No, I’m never going back

Do! Now you’re here and everything’s changing Suddenly life means so much I can’t wait to wake up tomorrow and find out this promise is true I will never have to go back to I will never have to go back to the day before you the day before you I’m never going back I’m never going back to the day before you

Yes, I D

Do! You are like a private garden, my treasure, my bride.�

Song of Songs 4: 12

I am my Beloved’s and my Beloved is mine Songs of Solomon 6:3

My beloved is to me a cluster of henna blossoms in the vineyard of Engedi� The henna blossoms are fragrant flowers, and the vineyard of Engedi represents a coastal area that was an oasis.

Putting the imagery together, the relationship between this young couple represented a fragrant oasis in life for the both of them.

Great relationships are refreshing!

Let this be Our Destiny, To Love, To Live, To Begin Each New Day Together

Marriage Prayer Lord, be in this marriage in a special way May they feel your presence each and every day Grant them both good humour, to surpass their coming years May there always be much laughter, may there always be less tears.

Give them strength and courage, to follow in your will To trust you in the valley, as they do upon the hill.

Give them both the eyes of love, so they will always see The goodness in each other, secure them Lord, in thee Give them words of kindness, Lord, help them both to live So their lips are always quick in saying, “I forgive” Encouraging each other in both word and deed Listening to the Holy Spirit to follow his lead Being patient, kind and willing to sacrifice Always receptive to the other’s advice A shoulder to cry upon when one’s heart is broken Or sometimes it can be just a little token, “One Flesh” means being a three strand chord Between you and yours and the Lord Together, forever in body, spirit and soul Becoming “One Flesh” as God has ordained Will make your union whole
