Her Vows

 

Since so very long ago,

            I dreamed of marrying a man;

Who was witty, kind and sensitive,

            worthy of my hand.

 

I dreamed he'd be a knight in white satin,

            courageous, brave and strong;

Yet soft and gentle when it came to touch,

            and he'd sing me sweet flute songs.

 

And I'd dreamed he'd be a righteous man,

            true to his heart and mine.

Smart and sure, and an endless romantic,

            writing me beautiful rhymes.

 

But I dream no longer, for my dream has come true,

            and put into flesh and bone;

This man now stands before me,

            as we vow to start our home.

 

I hope our days together bring us joy and good blessings,

            and pray our love may bear a sweet fruit;

I know our love is true and worthy,

            for we are lovers of the Truth.

 

And with this Truth we duly wed,

            and join our hands and hearts together;

Let us share this Truth,

            in the love of our family forever.
