A beautiful celebration of love and commitment, of friends, of family and of partners.

A poem to celebrate their life's journey...

 

We, unaccustomed to courage, exiles from delight

live coiled in shells of loneliness, until love leaves its high holy temple

and comes into our sight, to liberate us into life.

 

Love arrives, and in its train come ecstasies

old memories of pleasure, ancient histories of pain.

Yet if we are bold, love strikes away the chains of fear from our souls.

 

We are weaned from our timidity, In the flush of love’s light, we dare be brave.

And suddenly we see, that love costs all we are, and will ever be.

Yet it is only love, which sets us free.

 

~Touched by an Angel, by Maya Angelou
