On this day of days
As sets the sun
I vow to you
My only one
**
For the rest of my life
As long as I live
My soul, my love
To you I give
**
For all of my life
To be all I can be
I need you, my love
To walk with me
**
So take hold of my hand
Hold near to me
For with you, my love
Ever I’ll be
**
This vow I do make
With tear in my eye
This vow I’ll hold true
Till the day that I die
**
So now on one knee
My life in your hand
“Love, be my wife?”
“Pray, make me your man.”

Turning Pages of Life
Life’s like a book — some parts are good, others not so much. Still, keep turning the pages; you might find the best chapter next. If someone hurts you, choose to forgive or just let it be, but never change who you are for them.

A Busy Memory
There was sunlight skipping off the road, reflecting off of other cars, making it hard for me to know which way I was flying by. If not for focus, there's no telling where I would land. Maybe I wouldn't land at all but instead continue sailing into the sun, into the light that burns holes where my eyes used to be. I wonder how it would feel to burn up while on the way to something with mundane importance. One moment you could be full of purpose and then in the next, you are nothing more than a busy memory.

This was amazing Gerald! It was romantic and breath taking and so beautifully written! I love what you were able to do with only four letter words and how you were able to attain a rhyme scheme too! So clever and so well written! Great work Gerald!
