A Poet's Wedding Vow

As we begin a journey so uncertain, you and I made one in a world of ours, our thoughts and emotions to share, our pleasant moments together to cherish, and our pains and sorrows to endure. I pledge my unflinching loyalty to you this day, and for the rest of my life, by taking an oath of fidelity to make our uncertain journey certain. I vow before you and God almighty, to be there for you in times of need, in times of want, in times of joy, in times of bliss, and in times of despair. I vow to nourish and to nurture your mortal body and soul, to share my infinite possessions with you, and to bequeath them at death to you. I solemnly promise to cast my hopeful sunbeam on you, to cause your emotional eye fluid to dry in your moments of grief. Every thought of you gives me health, and a minute with thee is truly a life time to remember. Nothing else shall separate us both save death. May heaven grant its consent to our eternal union.

Thanks Anne-Marie. These were the words I composed as my wedding vow on november the 14th, 2009. I decided to have it published.
