Brevity of the Moment

It is a beautiful day
and the last one we will have here.
We have only spent a few hours
in times of great friends and times so sincere.
The breeze continues to blow
as we talk about life and all under the sun.
The breeze continues to slow
as these six friends come together as one.
We are free in a setting
where responsibility is no longer our concern.
We drink and enjoy ourselves
as we try to avoid the sun and its burn.
We sit on a pristine beach,
whether it be on a blanket or on a chair.
We sit together in a moment
feeling the beach's beautifully crisp air.
We sit around together
with the creeping revelation
that this time together
is one that will leave us in consternation,
yet we will sit here for now
as we come to the realization
that leaving here will not split apart
this bounded and united friend nation.

Today You Are One

These two found each other
through unlikely circumstances,
yet this day marks that they will not lose each other
over any dark days or dirty glances.
Perfect for each other
in every single possible way,
they have dreamed for years
of this glorious, love and God-filled day.
A simple moment with legal implications
that lasts but minutes
with a promise of eternity
of a love that never knows any limits,
“what God has brought together
let no man tear apart”
as these two will forever be one
tied tightly at the heart.
With three beautiful kids
and family and friends full of love
Robert and Adrienne are sure
to always rise above.
Whether it is a detracting mouth
or Satan himself,
God will never allow these two
to be plucked from His shelf.
As long as these two rely on God,
as we all vow to help them do,
there will never be a fear to be had
as God’s promises will always be true.
What love is not strong enough for
is the gap God will fill,
whether as healthy as can be
or whether this world causes you to be ill.
Always remember life is not easy,
as both of you well know,
but you can always rely on God
as He will never let you go.
This model is the one
I know you both will follow
as you will always love each other
even as old together you will grow.
All there is to know
is that we are all here for you
but more importantly is to realize
you two are about to say “I do.”
