Your Wedding Vows Poem by Clive Blake

May you forever be lovers,
May you forever be friends,
And should you hurt each other,
May you quickly make amends.

May you enjoy your passion,
But never let compassion die,
Thinking in selfless terms as us,
Never emphasising I.

May you forever be soul-mates,
May your love eternally last,
May the food of love sustain you,
May you never have to fast.

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

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