I need a nice poem for the front of our album

Here's a really short one

From this day forward

From this day forward,

You shall not walk alone.

My heart will be your shelter,

And my arms will be your home.

I like that one! i think its pretty! i'm not sure if yu wrote your own vows but that could be somehthign you put on the front as well

We did the traditional vows, but that is a very nice idea.

LOVE"S RECIPE

Take a pinch of lovers' dreams

Add a tender smile or two

One spoonful of tenderness

And wishes fond and true

Throw in faithfulness and trust

Simmer a decade or two

Then serve as loving friendship

To last a lifetime through.

LOVE RULES

Love rules the court,

The camp, the grove,

ANd men below, and the saints above,

FOr love is heaven

And heaven is love.

THE HEART"S ANCHOR

Think of me as your friend, I pray,

And call me bu a loving name;

I will not care what others say,

If only you will remain the same.

I will not care how dark the night,

I will not care how wild the storm,

Your love will fill my heart with light

And shield me close and keep me warm.

“To Be One With Each Other” by George Eliot

What greater thing is there for two human souls

than to feel that they are joined together to strengthen

each other in all labor, to minister to each other in all sorrow,

to share with each other in all gladness,

to be one with each other in the

silent unspoken memories?

Here's the last one i have

PARTNERS

The first dance of all when they danced heart to heart

They knew, they both knew, it was only the start

Of something more wonderful that a mere dance

More than a thrill of a passing romance.

They knew without saying the Love, the real thing

Had touched them that night with its shimmering wing

No word had been spoken and yet they both knew

That suddenly all sorts of dreams had come true.

It's many a year since the night that they met

But that first dance they will never forget

Then a boy and girl and now a husband and wife

Still happy, still dancing and partners for life.

An excerpt from "The Master Speed" by Robert Frost

Two such as you with such a master speed

Cannot be parted nor be swept away

From one another once you are agreed

That life is only life forevermore

Together wing to wing and oar to oar.

Two Fragments by Sappho

Love holds me captive again

and I tremble with bittersweet longing

As a gale on the mountainside bends the oak tree

I am rocked by my love

Count Leo Tolstoy, Russian writer, to Valeria Arsenev, his fiance.

I already love in you your beauty, but I am only beginning to love in you that which is eternal and ever precious - your heart, your soul. Beauty one could get to know and fall in love with in one hour and cease to love it as speedily; but the soul one must learn to know. Believe me, nothing on earth is given without labor, even love, the most beautiful and natural of feelings.

The poet Yueh Fu

"I want to be your friend forever and ever.

When the hills are all flat, and the rivers are all dry;

When the trees blossom in winter,

And the snow falls in summer;

When heaven and earth mix - -

Not till then will I part from you."

“A White Rose” by JB O’Reilly

The red rose whispers of passion,

And the white rose breathes of love;

O, the red rose is a falcon,

And the white rose is a dove.

But I send you a cream-white rosebud

With a flush on its petal tips;

For the love that is purest and sweetest

Has a kiss of desire on the lips

Im loveing you just like your loveing me i love the way u hold me just like i hold u clos to my heart your my husben forever my love you remind me how speshal i am to you and how speshal you are to me i love you for ever my love.

We're actually having that blessing read at the end of our ceremony as well! I once saw on the front of an album the short little phrase "Today's smiles are tomorrow's memories." Simple, but sweet. I however, vote for the native american blessing you had at your wedding.

Thank to everyone for all your suggestions!! I'll show my hubby and see what he thinks :o)

To keep your marriage brimming,

With love in the loving cup,

Whenever you're wrong, admit it;

Whenever you're right, shut up.

-Excerpt by Ogden Nash

Hehe Carleen, I like that one :o)
