Perfect Vows

My beautiful daughter was married last weekend!


Poem Artwork

His eyes so warm and filled with love

Locked onto hers as uttered vows

Came from the soul and sealed a deal

That only well earned trust bestows

Each offering their sacred faith

They gave a part from deep within

Each emphasised their willingness

To fortify and underpin

This union of tested strength

This love that life could not divide

Their hands then joined, as side by side

They walked together, Groom and Bride.

I have to agree with Odin and yet, I attended my daughter's wedding last summer and I was very happy to see her so happy. This is lovely and true from your heart, Ruan. Thank you for sharing. Love and best wishes,

A proud mother's impression. Let us hope that it is the start of the long and lasting friendship and love that seems to be what everyone desires but so often fails these days with so many distractions.

Well...all except for the "Groom and Bride" I was with you. Your first 11 lines were true to the impeccable clarity of love whose base of value and potential endurance against all odds will prevail without any form of traditional legal bind. Love, today, bound by contract in writing seems to be going the way of the dinosaur. We can blame it on the inherent nature of "all" legal transactions--which by definition has to include the "me" "You" "us" "them" win/lose nomenclature. Two people in love stay in love (or don't) fully contingent on the strength of their mutual respect and honor, neither principal of ethics needing the emblematic shackles associated with a signed paper. Love, in my way of thinking, is not object oriented, but a "state" of being, i.e. to be in love with someone is to be in the state of love alongside that someone. But...of course that's just an opinion based on perhaps far too many years of experience and observation. --- As to the poem as a whole, it is true to your always consistent talent.
