My Poem Vows

Millicent:
I drifted for years
In an ocean of tears
Sinking and drowning
As waves pushed me down
I was lost at sea
And couldn’t find “me”
Till I reached your shores
And I drifted no more
For your light, guided me
To the place I need to be
Now with my feet firmly on land
I take you by the hand
And I vow, that I, Millicent
Take you Kaylee

Kaylee:
And I Kaylee, take you Millicent

Millicent & Kaylee together:
To be my lawfully wedded wife

Millicent:
For the rest of my life

Kaylee:
To have and to hold

Millicent:
As our love unfold

Kaylee:
For better or worse

Millicent:
And to always put us first

Kaylee:
For richer, for poorer 

Millicent
Our future looks clearer

Kaylee:
In sickness and in health

Millicent:
May we also be blessed with wealth

Kaylee:
Till death us do part,

Millicent
I will love and cherish you, with all my heart

I greet you with the love of the Lord, expressed by John 3:16 of the Bible, "For God so loved the world, that he gave his only begotten Son, that whosoever believeth in him should not perish, but have everlasting life." Have a blessed day.
