For Wedding Reception in hot Climate

We appreciate that you are dressed
In such wedding finery
That you are looking spiffy
Is very plain to see.
But after the wedding march has played
And the groom has kissed the bride
It's fine to change into cooler clothes for the reception
Let the thermometer be your guide!

Living Our Dream

Living Our Dream

When we first wed
We had a dream
That got forgotten
Or lost, it would seem.

But suddenly we have found again
The life and love that should have been.
The past is gone and can't be reclaimed
But our love for each other still remains.

How fortunate are we
and oh how blessed
To have this second chance
At happiness!

I pledge my heart and love to you
Each day from now and my whole life through
For I know now what I have been searching for
Was you, my love, and nothing more.

Four Year Old In Heaven

Does Heaven hold a flock of butterflies
That flitter flower to flower
A sweet meadow where a little boy
Could chase them hour by hour?
Is there a special room for trains
And toys that little boys like
Do they have skateboards to ride
And for toddlers, are there trikes?
And when I join you there someday
Will you have aged at all?
Or will my same bright eyed four year old
Answer this loving mother's call?
I do not know if we stay there
The same age forever more
I only know Heaven will be sweeter
Than anything we've known before.
And if I see a toddler
Come running to welcome me home
Or if I see a grown up young man
I'll recognize him as my own!
