When asked to compose and recite a poem for an upcoming wedding for a loved one, I honestly did not know where to begin.
What eventually flowed, was this poem written from the bride and groom's perspective. It was penned to encompass appreciation for the past, confirmation of the present, and anticipation for the future.

Wedding Poem - Yesterday, Today And Tomorrow
|
Cherished are the memories that Brought us to this day, For yesterday, was just a dream ... A wish to contemplate. A fantasy where in my mind, A fleeting glimpse I'd see ... A vision of the true desires I longed for endlessly. And when I dreamed, I did not know The love I'd feel today; The height of my true feelings, And the depths they would portray. And if I had one wish today, A simple wish t'would be ... Is that the love we feel this moment, Lasts eternally. Reality has merged now As you stand here by my side; And as I join your hand in mine, My heart does fill with pride. For as I pledge my love to you, I see in many ways, Reflections of my love for you Are mirrored in your gaze. And by our presence here today, And for the love we share, I thank you for our yesterdays That brought us to be here. But more than this, I vow to you, My wishes yet to come ... Tomorrow's dreams and fantasies, This day that we are one. Tomorrow's an adventure That we'll share together now; Our future's intertwined forever, Through this holy vow. I promise to remember In the future years and days, The love I feel for you this moment ... ... Dreams fulfilled today. For in the coming years as we Move on, and reminisce, Back to the day I stood with you And promised with a kiss ... That blessed are the days that I have looked into your eyes, And felt the warmth and love reflect, The essence of our lives. ***** Yesterday we dreamed of what might be; Today we validate our love; And tomorrow we will cherish the life we have shared as one. |
