Back in the Days

This was written at the request of a bride-to-be. She asked me to write a poem to read at her wedding.

Back in the days,

when we first met;

I said I would be there for you,

and have no regrets.

 

Back in the days,

when our love was new;

I gave you my heart,

you gave me yours too.

 

Those days will always be

a part of our past;

the feelings we had back then,

we knew would last.

 

That brings us to today,

and proudly I stand.

Declaring my love for you,

as I take your hand.

 

To honor you with my love,

today is my vow.

To cherish you with my heart,

to thee I endow.

 

Back in the days,

when I first saw you;

I knew the time would come,

that I'd say "I Do."

 

Now the future is ours to share,

together as one.

Withstanding life's trials, my love,

whatever may come.

 

So as we move on, my dear,

and time ticks away.

Remember the Love we've shared,

and think back to This Day.
