For my Bride

I held you just the other day    What sweet comfort to cradle you so close Ten Years of love and commitment    Wrapped up in the energy and excitement of newfound romance There is no one I hold as dear    None other do I desire to hold. When I am holding you I get lost in your beauty,    the diamond-like shine in your eyes When I am holding you I get lost in your love,    sealed with kisses sweet as fine wine When I am holding you I get lost in your heart:    pure, forgiving, kind, gentle, and understanding With these simple, ordinary words    I pray that joy fills your heart With these kisses    I pray that love floods your soul With these hugs    I pray that warmth radiates through your spirit I held you just the other day    What sweet comfort to cradle you so close For you are mine. Forever to hold.    For you are mine. Forever to love.
