INDIAN WEDDING BLESSING
This is The Indian Wedding Blessing.
My daughter Kathy and her husband had this read at their
wedding 19 years ago, and I still think it is terrific.
Now we feel no rain, for each of us will be a shelter to the other.
Now we feel no cold, for each of us will be warmth to the other
Now there is no loneliness, for each of us will be a companion to the other.
We are two bodies, but there is one life before us and one home
When evening falls, I’ll look up and there you’ll be.
I’ll take your hand: you’ll take mine and we’ll turn together
to look at the road we travelled to reach this hour of our happiness.
It stretches behind us, even as the future lies ahead.
A long and winding road, whose every turning means discovery
Old hopes, new laughter, shared fears.
The adventure has just begun.

That's really beautiful!
Merle,
I just found your blog by following you from mreddie.
I found it very interesting reading and plan to explore more of your site!
I,too,am an older lady. I will soon be 65. I live in Ocala, Fl USA
I have a Journal/Blog on AOL- I write a lot of family stuff-and also I have some of my poems on it...lots of pics too- of a variety of things.
Hope you will come visit me there. :)

Hi Merle, a popular choice, Bubba's poem also very good.
You might have a little trouble getting to junierose,
but if you persevere you'll find it, I think you then need to sign in to AOL before you can leave a comment, I couldn't comment, so I gave up.
Hi folks ~ Thanks for comments.
Bubba I have just had a very blocked drain which my son cleared after much effort and it
was filled with ROOTS. They did not trip me up, but were a darned nuisance.
Junie Rose ~ Thank you for your nice words. I would like to visit your site, but have been unable to find you so far. Would love to read your poems.
