The time you grew into love
silver evenings, golden days
each one a voyage of happy discovery
The time when you knew
shared the joy
began to live
together
The time of your wedding
promises made and love avowed
the future grasped firmly
by the hands

Thanks Vic. I should be there, Erling is a very dear friend. But Covid-19 stooped the journey. :(

Thank you for the perfect poem! I read it to two friends during their virtual wedding reception (crediting you of course) and they said it was as if it were written for them. Beautiful.
