ADDING UP

Right. I'm not married; not even close. In fact, I can't really imagine it. However, it hasn't stopped me thinking about how it works. As a result, I've written a little ditty. It's not much but I quite like it.

Adding Up

There's one of me and one of you,

And one plus one is surely two,

So me plus you is you plus me;

A simple sum of symphony.

A simple sum? But God is three!

(The one they call the Trinity),

And he's with you and also me,

The threefold chord in harmony.

So altogether that makes five,

To keep our married life alive,

The Father, Spirit and the Son

Plus you and me in unison.

And someday soon, as time goes by,

The five of us will multiply,

And on that day when life's begun,

We'll hear a zero flip to one.

Oh sum of sums! For then we'll be

A one, a two, a six, a three!

And somehow out of nought but me

The Father made a family
