    From a deceased father to his daughter on her wedding day. I wrote this in memory of my friend's father on her wedding day.

  6. 4. Wedding Verse

    I am 65 years old and only started writing poems about 4 years ago. I like to write in rhyming verse, and once inspired by something I get a flow of meaningful words. My daughter and her partner have lived together for 8 years and have planned their wedding for the last 3 years. I wanted to write something special for them to keep, and I read this poem out in church after they had taken their vows.


    The time has come to stand side by side
    The Groom in his glory, his beautiful Bride.
    They've waited so long for this moment in time
    To take their vows and say, "Will you be mine?"

  7. 5. On Marriage

    The poem "On Marriage" by Kahlil Gibran is a poignant exploration of the nature of love and partnership. Through the voice of the master, Gibran speaks to the eternal bond that exists between two people who choose to spend their lives together, even beyond death. However, the poem also cautions against the dangers of losing oneself completely in a relationship and emphasizes the importance of maintaining one's individuality while still cherishing and supporting their partner. Gibran's use of vivid imagery and metaphor creates a powerful and thought-provoking piece on the complexities of love and marriage.
    The poem begins with these lines:
    Then Almitra spoke again and said, And what of Marriage, master? And he answered saying:

    You were born together, and together you shall be forever more.
    You shall be together when the white wings of death scatter your days.
    Yes, you shall be together even in the silent memory of God.
    But let there be spaces in your togetherness.

  12. 10. Today's My Daughter's Wedding Day

    This poem was written from the heart while commuting to NY by train. It took a few days, and each day some fellow commuters would look at me with a concerned face because the tears would come each time I wrote a new line. I don't know what they were thinking, but they must have thought I was very unhappy. Little did they know I was happy and anxious at the same time... Eventually, I really did get a beautiful little granddaughter!

    And a wonderful thing it is
    To see her so excited,

  19. 17. Decades

    I wrote this poem for my wife on our wedding day. I have known her since she was 19, and now we are in our 50s and finally married. My poem is about how beautiful she was young, and though time has passed, how beautiful she is today. I feel so lucky to know both the young and older versions of the same woman and feel fortunate to know that I will be with her forever.
