Dear friends, we are gathered together today to complete a circle of life. <br />A circle that started a lifetime ago, as two friends become man and wife. <br />They courted and flirted and eventually saw the beginnings of love burning bright. <br />They started to feel, to share, and to care, and love began to take flight. <br />It grew on wings of gossamer and silk, steady and true and free. <br />The winds were strong, and the wings got frayed, not sure yet of what they might be. <br />However, the silk in those gossamer wings kept them from being destroyed. <br />And the love these two shared grew and changed through the tears, <br />As wisdom and age were employed. <br />They now stand together before God and their friends to start a new home and new life; <br />Because they now know that no matter what comes, <br />They will make it as husband and wife. <br />Come share the joy with this girl and this boy as they start a new life together. <br />With family and friends, and love without end, and a circle that will last forever.<br /><br />Kathy Ann Croy<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/a-circle-of-life/
