As You Are Joined

To honor you as you are joined
these words are offered here
may love fill up all of your days
as you travel through the years.

May your life together bring you joy
a joy that knows no bounds
and if daily toil weakens you
through love may strength be found.

May peace always follow you
through all the days you share
within the circle of your love
always find comfort there.

With each other may you dwell
in blissful harmony
contented, think about your love
when parted you must be.

May your life be blessed with happiness
but should grief come your way
together find the laughter
that will wash your tears away.

Through all the days that are to come
as each one blossoms new
awake to find the roots of love
grown strong and sure and true.

Love is powerful and important in our lives. You captured it well in your poem. It's a great tribute to love itself. This poem would read well on a wedding card...Raul

In these days of quick divorces, infidelity and lack of communication this is indeed a breath of fresh air. Superb cadence and rhyming, and a wonderful message fo us all. Well done Robin! Love, Keith

Carrie's right. This would be a wonderful recitation for a wedding. I especially love the second to the last stanza, as my husband and I always try to find reasons to laugh amid the daily turmoil and troubles. Beautiful poem! ~Juliane

How beautiful, and how perfect this would be to recite at someone's wedding. Someone out there may want to print this one for future happy occasions! ~ Carrie
