When Fate Decides

When fate decides to bring you love
Clouds moved to show the stars above

You the crowning jewel of the stratosphere
Your breath of incense pervade the atmosphere 

None to compare at such radiant comeliness 
If I should fail you I crave your forgiveness

I’d be heartbroken if I should ever lose you
Because I feel I am wearing the luckiest shoe

I thank fate that of all I was the chosen one
To reciprocate the love of one second to none

Joy; this is one good poem. I really enjoyed reading. Thank you for sharing. I read one poem that I have here at my Mom's Wake. ( For The Ones I Love) I made copies and my daughter passed them out after The poem was read. On the paper I put praying hands on each corner and on top In the middle I put my Moms picture. The poem is here. Lucilla

I will be reading that poem along with others. I had done that with one that I asked my husband to write, for a lady that I considered my second mother. I didn't have enough, everyone wanted one. Thanks for reading and commenting. One love. Joy Wells

yours is a very lovely addition to the collection here of poetic wedding vows. Sorry my poem reflected your heartache of the past. I usually am writing just fiction but it's nice that you could relate to it!!
