From The Heart

A Wedding Prayer
By Mary-Michael Levitt

Love honors you today
as man and woman
individual and equal,
as woman and man
lifetime partners.

Love honors your journey
your path widened by trust
paved with desire,
mapped in creativity
a junction arrived.

Love honors your spirit
the energy embraced
innocent zest,
devoted confidence
undeniable balance.

Love honors your hearts
the core of your flesh
the voice of your life,
the glue in turmoil
the source of your being.

Love honors your pledge
eyes convey without words
hands strengthen in touch
lips mold the words
connected companions.

Love honors your celebration
with families present
and past,
with friends,
in joy and in hope,
love honors you together,
with love from the heart.
