The Love Of My Life(Written 4-26-07) (For Couples Planning To Marry) Poem by Bernard Ceasar

For all that you have done, are doing, and will continue to do
I am honored and grateful to God
that He has given me you

like water mixed with ice
given to someone to quench their thirst
when the temperature (a) rise
so does your love,
for you are the love of my life

You are the sun,
giving in abundance-rays of compassion,
but like anything that is too good-too perfect
it appears difficult at times to believe that this is truly happening

For so long, I have been searching to find Mrs. Right-
I was decieved, and only found what was appealing to the sight-
but then came you-like a dream of the night-
pivoting my heart, my mind, and my sight
and like a people united-willing to fight for their possessions and rights-

in like-manner, from this day forward-as you are becoming my lawfully wedded wife-
I will cherish you for the gift that you are-I will fight for our love-for you are my blessing-you are...the love of my life.
