Just wondering if any of you know any really nice love poems. Want to put one in the front cover of my mass booklet and maybe even get a guest to read it out after communion with music in the back ground. have looked up websites but they all seem to be " shakespeare " type poems where you need to read them a few times to get the meaning. I'm kind of looking for something really nice, a little bit holy and about love ??
Can anyone help me??

I bought a book in Lantz that contains poems, readings, songs etc - it might give you a few ideas.

Thanks guys,
That poem is really nice.. never heard it before.. it is kind of what im looking for, something with meaning .
I think ill go on line and see if i can order that book from lantz!
Thanks again, if you think or hear of any more, let me know

Hi

Countdown

Were thinking of using this:



When darkness falls upon your heart and soul.
I'll be the light that shines for you.
When you forget how beautiful you are
I'll be there to remind you.
When you can't find your way,
I'll find my way to you.
When troubles come around,
I will come to you.

I'll be your shoulder when you need someone to lean on.
Be your shelter.
When you need someone to see you through.
I'll be there to carry you.
I'll be there.
I'll be the rock that will be strong for you.
The one that will hold on to you.
When you feel that rain falling down.
When there's nobody else around.
I'll be.

And when you're there with no one there to hold.
I'll be the arms that reach for you.
And when you feel your faith is running low.
I'll be there to believe in you.
When all you find are lies.
I'll be the truth you need.
When you need someone to run to .
You can run to me

I'll be your shoulder when you need someone to lean on.
Be your shelter.
When you need someone to see you through.
I'll be there to carry you.
I'll be there.
I'll be the rock that will be strong for you.
The one that will hold on to you.
When you feel that rain falling down.
When there's nobody else around.
I'll be.

I'll be the sun.
When your heart's filled with rain.
I'll be the one.
To chase the rain away.

I'll be your shoulder when you need someone to lean on.
Be your shelter.
When you need someone to see you through.
I'll be there to carry you.
I'll be there.
I'll be the rock that will be strong for you.
The one that will hold on to you.
When you feel that rain falling down.
When there's nobody else around.
I'll be.
I'll be

Love Is...
by Andrea Hill

More beautiful than roses
Much deeper than the seas
Stronger than a hurricane
But timid like a breeze

Real as in a picture
But yet it can�t be seen
More beautiful than anything
As vivid as a dream

Precious as rare jewels
A bond between two hearts
A symphony of feelings
When time is spent apart

Sharing common interests
Working through all fears
Looking at yourself
As if two were in the mirror

Finding common ground
On issues not agreed
Giving into arguments
Tending all your needs

Being there for always
Is all I want to do
Holding you forever
Because our love is true

or

True Love

True love is a sacred flame
That burns eternally,
And none can dim it�s special glow
Or change its destiny
True love speaks in tender tones
And hears with gentle ear
True love gives with open heart
And true love conqueres fear
True love makes no harsh demands
It neither rules nor binds
And true love holds with gently hands
The heart that it entwines.

love them, thanks a million!

To Keep Your Marriage Brimming
Ogden Nash (1902-1971)
To keep your marriage brimming,
With love in the loving cup,
Whenever you're wrong admit it;
Whenever you're right shut up.

"Communion Reflection "
Today is a day you will always remember,
a great day in anyone�s life,
You�ll start the day just two people in love
and end it as husband and wife.
It�s a brand new beginning, the start of a journey,
with moments to cherish and treasure,
And although there�ll be times when you both disagree,
these will surely be out weighed by pleasure.
You�ll have heard many words of advice in the past,
when the secrets of marriage were spoken,
But now you know that the answers lie hidden inside,
where the bond of true love lies unbroken.
So live happy forever as lovers and friends,
It�s the dawn of a new life for you,
as you stand there together with love in your eyes
from the moment you whisper �I Do�.
And with luck, and God�s help,
all your hopes and dreams can be real,
may success find it�s way to your hearts.
Tomorrow can bring you the greatest of joys,
but today is the day it all starts."

On the inside back cover
we had this poem, plus a thank you note to all our guests:

For two people, this dawn brought a magical day.
Now husband and wife, we head on our way.
As the first page unfolds, and our life inks its path,
May it write a true story where forever love lasts.
Let our journey be happy, till death us do part,
Of one thousand chapters, may this be the start�..


We used the second one,one of my bridesmaids read it after communion it was amazing it sounded straight from the heart and everyone clapped after she read it.

We had........not really a poem but i love it. Our photographer is even going to incorporate it into our album! It kinda brings in the religious as well.

CREATION OF WOMAN FROM THE RIB OF MAN

She was not made of his head to top him,
nor out of his feet to be trampled on by him,
but out of his side to be equal with him,
under his arm to be protected,
and close to his heart to be loved.








WE'VE ONLY JUST BEGUN

thanks a million for those.
Clumsy your second one is perfect. Defo going to use that one and get one of my friends to read it out after communion.
