My Wedding Vows

When we first started planning our wedding, we were going to write our own vows. In the end we decided not to go that route ( I think Mark was having trouble thinking of what to say). But I had mine down. And this is what I had for my vows.




Mark,

You are a blessing in my life.
I feel safe in your arms
and i always see love in your eyes for me.
And right here, right now,
I would like to say, thank-you.
For being there when i need you.
You always brighten up my day.
Mark,
I promise to love you unconditionally.
I will be by your side, always.
You have my shoulder, to lean on...
You have my ear, to listen to you...
And most importantly,
my heart to love you.
I promise to help you up,
when you have fallen down.
To take care of you
when you’re sick.
And stick by you,
no matter what.
I will be your friend,
your love,
And most importantly of all
your wife.
This I promise you with all my heart,

for the rest of my life.

All We Have is Time

Have you visited a graveyard lately
and wondered by the plots?
Some are neat and tidy
With flowers trim in pots.
Where someone has cleared the grime,
Taken care and given time.

Whilst other sites do show neglect,
They're fairly overrun with weeds,
And beneath them lie dusty bones,
Forgotten words, forgotten deeds
Of someone, perhaps, whose only crime
Was leaving no one to give them time.

For time is all we have to give,
It bonds us to our kin,
When mixed with love it binds us strong
To friends, when times are grim.
The hills of life are eased to climb
When shared with those who give us time.

For time is like life's mortar,
It binds the bricks we use
To build a house where God may dwell,
It's up to us to choose.
As sharing makes our life sublime,
For all we have to give is time.
