A Wedding Vow

Come be with me.  You need not fear.
To me you are so very dear.
I'll trust you, always be your friend,
and stay with you through thick and thin.
There'll be no time that I will say:
"Why did I ever choose this way?"
No time that I will find complaint
with anything that you think great.
You have your right to be alone,
freedom to come or go from home.
Whatever you do, you'll not be wrong.
Our selfless love will grow more strong.
For love does not engage in war,
nor does it try itself to mar.
I'll always think the best of you,
and always know your heart is true;
respect, and honor in your name,
for you, Dear One, wish me the same.
