Dedicated to Sheri-Lyn and Cedric
for their forthcoming first year anniversary

With This Tear

On this day,
I stand before you
and breathe destiny,
you are my hope...my fantasy
of wishes upon midnight stars
beginning anew, embraced in your arms

With this vow,
I pledge to love unconditionally
to honour and cherish thee,
to be your lover and your dearest friend,
these sacred vows shall have no end

With this ring,
I thee wed
uniting two hearts in unison as one beat
knowing that God brought us together
to caress this paradise
so our bond shall flourish
like the eternal circle of love our rings hold
ever golden as a lifetime of marriage to unfold

With this smile,
I give you my faith
and hand you my heart
to bask in the peace of trust
so we may stand beside each other in life
for better or worse
as husband and wife

With this kiss,
I open the depths of my soul
and express my undying devotion
sealing this purest of promises
to taste romantic bliss,
for, you are the most beautiful man
to ever grace this earth,
I am proud to be your bride...
fate dances at the touch of our lips

With this rose,
I hand you my first gift as your wife
and I offer my passion
in exchange for yours
as marriage is both compromising and giving,
we must share this union with acceptance and understanding
as these petals of crimson glisten -
a symbol of our soaring love

With this tear,
I marry thee
and create happiness and a family,
you will remain the other half of my heart
'til death do us part,
and even after, upon the sweeping breeze of Heaven...
we shall renew our vows as angels

With this tear,
our garden of fancy shall be abundant in seed,
I am yours...today, tomorrow and always,
you're all I'll ever need

With everflowing tears,
I thee desire,
adore
and respect

Dreams do come true...
God answered my prayer,
my search is over...I found you

You are my greatest love and my last love,
you are my one and only true love,
you are my everything...
my treasure -
that rare pearl discovered
in an endless sea
of romantic tides of reverie

Sweet beloved,
my husband, I love you so

What a beautifully eloquent painting!! This is so way beyond words!!

How can you save me?
When the dark comes right in and takes me,
from my front walk and into bed,
where it kisses my face and eats my head. Shivaree

Thank you so much to everyone who replied! Originally I penned this for my future husband, but, I decided to give it as a gift to my friends instead

I agree with Marge, this was a great gift. It was wonderfully written.
