A wedding poem with advice on
how to make married love last:
Meaning has
no meaning without love.
It might
make sense yet still mean nothing at all.
The love of
who you are and what you do
Craves the
higher love of one another,
Has no kin
but love beyond oneself.
Enduring
love must sometimes be endured.
Lest you
think it's easy, well, it's not.
Little
given, little gained, and yet
An equals
sign has no place in a marriage,
Nor should
calculation seal the heart.
Do, then,
love as though life were a dance,
Living with
neither guile nor reservation,
Increasingly
at ease with every step,
Sharing
with an unimaginable joy
A life of
passion, clarity, and grace.
