Of Love ------------- The kiss is sweet Our bodies meet We feel the touch Of Love In our Journey On roads smooth and rocky We learn our strength Of Love To the future We promise forever To give our Vows Of Love Down the Isle The Wedding recital We accept the Bonds Of Love The gold we carry To honour and cherish Is our Pledge Of Love When we throw away Those vows we say We release the Rings Of Love  James Parker Haley April 21, 1991 [This message has been edited by Haleyja (edited 01-27-2000).] |

In today's world, isn't it sad how easily those vows get thrown away? Excellent poem. -SEA |

Very touching James, glad to see that commitment is part of your definition of *LOVE*...I wish more people thought this way...much love ~D Open arms can be the most fragile in the world... |

I love this! It says in delicate, loving language, just how I feel about my husband, and our marriage. |

Very interesting poem. Having gone through 2 divorces and many broken dreams, this one got me. I just hope to one day regain the "Rights Of Love". Well done. G |

The heart's lonely lessons never seem to be finished, do they? Well said in this poem, my friend. Corinne |
