OUR WEDDING POEM

by

(For Anita, on our wedding day)

Our old lives ended -- our new life begun....

O may that life be like a static sun,

Forever burning, lighting up a way

Of love and peace, through an eternal day

Full of kind deeds born of a mutual caring --

Sweet little things to make our lives endearing.

O let us love full free, that we may give,

With selflessness, as long as we both live,

Not only pleasures, thrills, and joys -- well spent!

But hope, and faith, and trust, and sweet content

To each other ... and let us bare our hearts

To learn the maxims there that Love imparts;

And when comes trouble, or a little woe,

Be understanding, dear ... the cause will go....

A wedding is a fusion of two souls,

Two hearts, two loves, two minds, two goals,

Forever into one.... Does that sound wise?

To me, it does; but we must compromise,

That our two lives may blossom as one flower,

Which grows more fragrant every passing hour ...

And sends its perfume lingering on the air,

Sweet as a song that will not disappear,

But haunts us with clear notes throughout the day,

And haunts us still, though our youth fade away.

I love you dearly -- now that you're my wife,

You are the very essence of my life!

The yearning and the breath! and yes! the star!

And all the other precious things that are....

Please love me long, and let your love be true,

Fresh as a rose in dawn's light, gemmed in dew.

My love is great! My love is tower tall!

In width and depth, my love surpasses all!

But Dear, such great love feels the greatest hurt;

And even mountains crumble into dirt....

May God, and all his Angels up above,

Grant us their peace, to make divine our love.
