Wedding poem

The hands of life have made for you a soul,

A soul that, if not perfect, is for you;

Let love for them be that which makes you whole,

For the hands that made their heart made yours, too.

Fear not that you have made this choice alone;

Love has chosen you as its expression,

To honour your other, but not as one you own,

For the heart is true that loves without possession.

Life demands that each of us must grow,

So let them live, let the changes come,

That love may gently guide the way to go,

As light that pulls a flower towards the sun.

By this you’ll know when life moves you apart,

You can find the other beating in your heart.
