Marriage Blessing Poem by Clive Blake

We know your wish to unite
Is so truly meant,
Let your love be the stone,
This blessing - the cement.

May you build on firm foundations,
And never build on sand,
May you both embrace the future,
And approach it hand-in-hand.

May your love for one another
Increase with each new day,
Bringing you true happiness,
Never causing you dismay.

May this blessing merely be
The very start of your new life,
May your dreams become reality,
Now that you are man and wife.
