With a poets heart
I stand here before thee
With this ring in hand
And vow upon my lips
For the love you have given me
The kindness and concern
I will cherish your heart
Placing it upon high with my own
Making a whole...
Where a half once stood
For the warmth in your touch
The sympathy in your eyes
I will cherish you for now
Until eternity ends
For with this ring
Unto your finger I lay
I today marry my friend
The only one for which
Shares my every hope
And dream
In sickness
Or unjoy
By your side
I will sit with tear in eye
Until the day
We say good-bye
And Beyond
And in health
With you in love
I can never part
For today I combine
My heart and soul
With yours
Making a whole . . .
