His joints, not without aches,
Her back, not without pain,

His mind, not without fatigue,
Her faith, not without strain,

His days, not without hardships,
Her nights, not without regrets,

Their hearts, not without scars.
Their souls, not without glory,

Their eyes, not without sorrow,
not without joy.

Their lives with grace,
standing side by side.
