Verity and Ken

Dear Verity and Ken,
On this your wedding day,

A poem,

Hinterhof by James Fenton

Stay near to me and I'll stay near to you -
As near as you are dear to me will do,
Near as the rainbow to the rain,
The west wind to the window pane,
As fire to the hearth, as dawn to dew.

Stay true to me and I'll stay true to you -
As true as you are new to me will do,
New as the rainbow in the spray,
Utterly new in everyway,
New in the way that you say is true.

Stay near to me, stay true to me. I'll stay
As near, as true to you as heart could pray.
Heart never hoped that one might be
Half of the things you are to me -
The dawn, the fire, the rainbow and the day.

James Fenton


Flowers and books.


A gluten free pink wedding cake for you.


Just Married bicycles for you and Ken, knowing that Ken likes cycling.




And balloons - well what's a virtual celebration without virtual balloons?





Wishing you both a wonderful day, honeymoon, celebration lunch and marriage.

Leaves

This quote fits into 'another one my mum sent me to do with relationships ending...' As we scuff along in the leaves it seems appropriate, though thankfully I now have Warmth to hold my hand.

'Heart be kind and sign the release
As trees their loss approve.
Learn as leaves must learn to fall
Out of danger out of love'
James Fenton
