Premium Member Wedding poem Wedding Vows
May we forever be lovers, May we forever be friends, And should we hurt each other, May we quickly make amends. May we enjoy our passion, But never let compassion die, Thinking in selfless terms as we, Never emphasising I. May we forever be soul-mates, May our love eternally last, May the food of love sustain us, May we never have to fast. May we use each...

Heat that made my eyes water the way they do when I say too much in a...

Premium Member Funeral poem In A Better Place
When someone first dies and leaves us, It’s hard to lift that sense of gloom, When their body is no longer with us, But their presence still fills the room. But within our treasured memories, We can recollect their smiling face, For in our heart-of-hearts we know, They are now in a much better place. ...
