A Hand In Marriage

To have and to hold, a price too high to pay,
To cherish and love, a burden too heavy to lift.
To give and to take, a promise too hard to keep,
To trust and forgive, a weight too much to hold.

To know and to learn, a price to be paid,
To share and show, a load to be lifted.
To receive and bless, a covenant to be kept,
To pray and keep, a gift to be upheld.

Passed

What's in the past stays in the past, I do not need my ghost to follow my shadow.
What's in the mistakes or the glory, I will know their retribution and rewards.
What's in the secrets and the truth, I do not wish to reveal without wisdom.
What's in the exposed and the light, I will do my best to give justification.
