Written for my son and his bride on the occasion of their wedding.
WEDDING SONG
Realize it.
~That you will be able to wake up beside this person almost every
day of your life is a gift.
Appreciate it.
~ At the end of your lives, you will remember the big things, the
amazing trips, the once in a lifetime experiences, the hard times. But you will
discover it is the small things that are most important.
~Maybe it will be the way he brushes your hair back from your
forehead or takes your hand when you walk down the street. Maybe it will be the
way she touches your shoulder when she passes your chair; unexpected, shared
laughter; a sunset.
~If I could give you a gift above all others it would be this:
In the mad dash of
your lives together,
Be conscious of it.
Be present
Don’t be in such a
hurry to make it happen that you forget it is
happening.
Right here.
Right now.
This moment.
~William Wordsworth
