~I PROMISE~
TO LOVE......
Affection and tenderness
I give to only you
No one else could ever come between us
Because of this love, so true
TO CHERISH......
You are my treasure that I embrace
inside the temple of my heart now and forever
I hold you above all others
As husband and wife
we will walk through this life together
DEEPLY RESPECT......
I admire who you are
and the person you have helped me to become
This has built a strength of loyalty and devotion
that can never come undone
FOR RICHER......
It is the richness of the
quality of our lives
The warmth, the compassion
the moments of tenderness
Filled with riches of love
a strong marriage survives
FOR POORER......
In the presents of sadness
Perhaps we may feel special moments have slipped by
These are the times to hold on with understanding
And wipe each other's tears as we cry
IN SICKNESS......
We are as one flesh
The pain you feel is pain I also go through
One alone may feel weak
But the strength of healing can be found within two
IN HEALTH......
The joy and happiness
of this union and all the time we share
Will be nourished and empowered
with LOVE, as we CHERISH
and RESPECT one another because we care
We will be RICH with the qualities
to carry us through
the POOR times of sadness we may have to bear
And the SICKNESS shall not tear us apart
Because of the power of love
and oneness of our heart
Love is mentioned first
it's true......
to make us strong
All the others are important
with no special order do they belong
Health is last to help us mend
But these vows are like a circle
with no beginning or end
TILL DEATH US DO PART
Tis not a vow to speak of now
For our life has just begun
to live as one
And never will we part
Because we are forever joined together
within each other's heart
