Customary Rites

(Dedication: For Michael and Clara
on your Wedding Day, today, 
Saturday, 19 July 2014)
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~



Cheer fills this day, charm looks profound;
Union of souls here on this earth;
See moments play in sacred grounds;
Trust makes one whole, now glimpse new worth;
Opt to share voice ever sincere;
Make love a sign spanning your time; 
Applaud fine choice etching your years;
Rouse fond design with sanguine chimes; 
Yield to your heart, explore all things.
Rise together, dare life's struggles;
Ignite true start, dare swirl and fling;
True love matters in your fable;
Enjoin true quest now man and wife;
Sense precious fest graced with grand life.
