A sign of affection, a token of bonding
with that wedding day kiss
A symbol of faith, respect and love for each other so astonishing
The swapping of souls that two experience upon marriage
An end to the wait filled with thoughts of disparage
One solemn moment to all those witnessing that special day
Truly alive again from the moment I knew you were here to stay
We have become partners
I have become yours
You have become mine
Two filled with sorrow, now have bright tomorrows
Life's time no longer filled with sadness
We two now hand in hand
Word and meaning united
Life's love passion ignited
Days and nights honey-sweet
My heart your shelter, my arms your home
Sweet taste of love's wine
I cannot promise you a complete life of sunshine
I cannot promise riches and gold
But I can promise all my heart's love and devotion
Compassion and safe emotion
Love ever knowing
A smile to chase away tears of sorrow
A love that is true and ever growing
A hand to hold in yours through each tomorrow
On that special day when it is said, "You may kiss the bride."
