May 25- Today now and always

The path’s been laid

               Wide and open

 To your archway, your always 

 

The candle’s been lit 

               Warm and bright 

 From your sparks, from your darkness

The music’s been sung 

                Soft and sure

By the birds, by the beating hearts

         

 The ring’s been forged

               Endless and edgeless 

From your vows, from your flames

 

The union’s been sealed 

               Elegant and eternal 

With a kiss, with His name 

On this day you’re making dreams come true

Today now and always

               Even when the day is done

The path remains 

               Adventurous and always

With peaks to hike 

                Boundless and breathless 

 With Valleys to fall to 

                Traversable together 

So long as the birds sing, the flame flickers, 

               So long as you love

 Always 

Today now and always
