To my friends Jerry and Carol on their wedding's anniversary!
(this poem was written for their wedding's day)
Oh glorious day this one,
When we place our hearts
Without a single doubt
In each other’s hands.
I lived my
life as if it was the perfect one
the game of life I played with
expertise
moving from one black square to a
white one
of my
grandiose enclosure I was king.
But, then, one day I sit and
ponder
why is it that I wonder?
although my life is fun and fine,
a simple feast
I always feel I’m incomplete?
I couldn’t find an answer to this
consuming fire
until one of those days when life presents itself
with open arms, a smile upon its
face;
you came to me as if a summer
breeze
and, in that magic moment my world fell into
place.
Today, our life is fun and fine, a simple feast
we move through life as one, a single drop of rain
no matter where the wind would
like to blow
our love is strong enough to
stand the pain.
Today we celebrate with endless
joy
the path that led us to each
other arms
the peaceful place we built
inside our hearts
the fire that always keeps us
warm.
The place that we call home, we celebrate
the simple daily moments that we
share
the early morning coffee along
with a sweet smile
the warmth that fill our
house when we’re not even there.
Today we celebrate the greatest
Good
that turns our world into a loving nest
In this eternal love, we sing and
dance
In this eternal love, we’ve come
to rest.
Oh glorious day this one
when life presents itself
with open arms
a smile upon its face
today we become one
today we celebrate
today we drift along
across the universe.
Nothing’s going to change our
world!
Nothing's going to change our world!!
