The Wedding Poem by Jason Brown

---

A spark born of love divine did two strange hearts toward love incline; thus by the one who put it there ‘twas made a gift, placed in their care.

Through sometimes troubled lonely nights the strangers kept their spark alight, till such a time as it might find to set aflame two hearts in kind.

So when the strangers became friends the spark was made to comprehend, two hearts in kind were these indeed, two hearts aflame it now did need.

Through simple softly spoken phrases, gentle touches, subtle gazes, these friends each-others hearts did claim, the spark had set their hearts aflame.

The flame flickered waned and waxed, it grew from their unselfish acts till it became a raging fire that burned their hearts with its desire.

With hearts on fire and nervous beating they stood together their vows repeating. These once strange hearts together came, these hearts are now one and the same.

The days ahead are full and bright illuminated by loves light, in joy your heart will be at ease relaxing in loves peaceful breeze

But these good times won’t always last for trouble seems to find us fast, as fear and doubt begin to grow a harsher wind will start to blow

The fire in the wind can turn to make your heart in anger burn, and quickly it can turn to dust your joy, your peace, your bond of trust.

To weather through these storms of strife give over to each-other

 your life, let wife to husband her heart bequeath, let husband to wife his will release.

Though either of you might wrong the other, remember your vows to one another. Through thick and thin, through wrong and right, let God’s Word be your guiding light.

To each of you this gift was given, the spark of love come down from heaven, so lovingly, patiently, choose to forgive and treasure each-other as long as you live.

And may it be when all is done you take your journey toward the setting sun, to that bright land from whence first came the spark that in your heart remains.
