I've learned the leassons of my youth,
And those within my prime.
I've walked through years of loneliness,
My trusting heart, my crime.

My soul grew weary with the search,
As years passed quickly by.
I never thought I'd find the one,
On whom I could rely.

Yet here I stand beside my love,
Our vows about to say.
I thank my precious Savior, Lord,
For sending you my way.

I promise that I'll love your soul,
Through easy, happy times.
And when the road gets rougher yet,
I'll gladly call you mine.

I promise here to speak my mind,
When something isn't right.
I promise now to listen well,
And try with all my might.

I vow to you, to give you space,
And help you respect mine.
I vow to share the heavy work,
To give us both some time.

And at the end of every day,
We will not sleep still cross.
For anger eats away at love,
And I can not bear that loss.

Today in front of all our friends,
Our God and family.
I give my heart to you, my love,
For all eternity.

It is good to see all of you again as well. I always forget how much I love this site when Ihave been away and it is always good to come home again.

This is a piece I wrote as a wedding present for a friends wedding. Both were in their 40's and finally had found each other.

Nan, I do wish it was I that day but I am still searching for that special someone.

Incredible writing, Marilyn!

I am SOOOOOO glad to see you back...brings back wonderful memories of when the earth (or, at least PIP) was young. Stick around, ok?

Thank you all so much.

Mike, I intend to be around as long as my schedual allows. We have given up sports for the summer and this has freed up some time. I miss this place. I miss the writing and I definately need the inspiration.

Marilyn.
