Wedding Vows Poem by Clive Blake

Wedding Vows

Rating: 4.8


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 other's strengths,
When we are feeling weak,
May we both learn to compromise,
And always as one voice speak.

May we never keep dark secrets,
May we never tell each other lies,
May we both work unceasingly,
To ensure our love never dies.

Clive, this is lovely... I managed to hold back the tears! :) I can see why this has been used worldwide. Was that your voice in the audio recording, or someone else's? Interestingly enough, I wanted to recite a poem of someone else's tonight, but I've never done this before, and I'm not quite certain how to. I have only been on this site since 13th March (yeah, and a Level 6 already, in 2 months!) Giving you a 10 for this touching work which is fast becoming a classic!
