What I said at Alex and Taelor's Wedding

I promise by the end to give a “Dumb” quote too.

Inside of me resides a poet,

By the rhythm and rhymes,

Listen well , you will surely know it.

All of you here are invited guests,

Alex and Taelor cherish this day,

The start of one of life’s big tests.

Marriage!

Imagine with me, IF, you will, each of

You in turn, could stand where I am,

And speak, wouldn’t that be a peach.

The wisdom that would pour out,

On this celebration, would enrich

This life-stage, I have no doubt!

August 27, 2011.

                             Will always mark the day,

When these two singles become one couple:

Before God; for life’s-work; and music to play.

Friends and family, together, become

 communities of valued memories,

Of time, before this day and then some.

Love, joy, peace, patience to name only four,

Goodness, kindness, gentleness, self-control

Active words woven that encourage more.

To know, each, Alex and Taelor is the others’ companion,

Sharing experiences, building on strength and love,

In the little and big things, that tie together this union.

Alex and Taelor

It has been said there are only two things in life;Time and money,

And if you have much of one; you do not have much of the other.

The exchange rate might look like this:

Seconds are to quarters, Minutes are 2- $10 bills and hours a handful

of $100 dollar bills, so don’t experience life together cheaply.

Empty your hour glasses, your watches, your clocks and any digital time pieces;

For one another.

Time passes and is marked by each days  the certain sunrise and succeeding sunset.

Money floats on the ebb and flow of employment but not tied only to, hard work or working hard but

working smart too.

You two are about to, embark on one of life’s biggest tests; some call it a journey; some a quest.

MARRIAGE.

The currency is love.

The exchange rate is individually mysterious,

Love is yours to give and it is yours to receive; unconditionally.

Each 24 hour day is another opportunity to both give and receive love, unconditionally.

Your goal is to find a balance, to balance the little and big things, this goal is to be accomplished, each Day. Balanced to 0, zero, nil, at the end of day when the moon takes the task of lighting the way.

Hit the” refresh” button, just before you drift off to sleep.

Wake up to a new day, in the morning air; that may be warm or cool or brisk!

You have each other to, share in the mundane, the adventurous or risk.

We here are your invited guests, friends and family,

 We are a community to draw on, our experiences;

Witnesses to, share your joys with, starting with today.

AUGUST 27, 2011 is THAT day, for both of you; it is one of your first dreams to come true.

More dreams, that you will have, a lifetime together, to imagine, to enjoy.

Here is that “Dumb” quote from Richard Dumb; Taelor and Alex “Don’t’ follow your dreams, chase them!”
