Poem: The Promise (wedding poem)

The Promise

 

Today I will look at you with amazement that God could create such a thing of beauty, and more so that He would give me the gift of His love through your eyes.

 

Today I will dig deep within myself, put aside all of my yesterdays and look only into the promise of tomorrow, and more so, the things that I can bring to us today

 

Today I will realize that there is nothing holding me back from you, for I have no secrets from you. I have nothing to hide from you.

 

Today there will be a moment of fear when I think that I am not good enough for you and you will say something or do something to remind me how invalid those thoughts are and I will enter again into our union.

 

Today there was a sunrise, and there will be a sunset, and the moon and stars will surface to do their delicate dance. Reminding me that as all things move in harmony, so does our love. It will rise, and it will set, but even in darkness, it will still be able to shine.

 

Today I will remember that when you are not here with me, you are still in spirit as we both travel under the same set of clouds, the same sun, the same stars and the same moon.

 

Today and everyday feels like a fresh start. For each time I see you it is like seeing the snow on a mountain for the first time. It is the freshness of the air after a light rain. Everyday with you is a renewal.

 

Today I will show you as well as tell you that I love you. I will listen to the minutes of the time ticking by and use each as a constant reminder of how lucky I feel to be by your side.

 

In all of this world, there are wonders abounding. There are places I have gone, things I have seen. But none other has been greater, then the gifts I see in you today.
