A Maltese cross encircles our necks
Like a mother’s embrace
An armor of protection
This talisman
Our symbol of camaraderie
Declares our bond, our glue
Knits us together
A quilt sewn into squares
Each depicting a shared memory
This cross represents our circle of trust
Where one arm ends another begins
Chain linked
Unspoken loyalty
A wedding band of sorts
Promise to each other
That whatever we encounter
We do it as one entity
