Wedding Reading

A meeting first orchestrated by kind fate or chance,
Today’s joy was seeded in a shared fleeting glance.
From the glance grew a bond that, with lucid hindsight,
Linked as naturally together as left-hand clasping right.

For when love is the current of the water’s flow,
Bearing you without struggle when you let yourselves go,
Taking you jointly entwined to each others’ direction,
Then happiness is effortless, and in love’s reflection.

What it is to have a love with self-assurance never-shaken
And a future of devotion, a journey undertaken;
From those first-furtive glances and words softly spoken
To champagne and rose petals, and a bond never broken.

The current flows into today, with its warm transcendent hue
To see the hand-clasped couple whisper, tenderly, ‘I do’
Which just leaves us, on this day of vows, beauty and emotion,
To wish you both a lifetime full of contentment and devotion.

Anniversary Poem (Written on behalf of a husband
for his wife for their 10th wedding anniversary)

Summer heralds warming bliss and illuminates our affection
And heralds this, our anniversary, a time for warm reflection.
Like the seasons that evolve and merge seamlessly together
Our marriage nurtures natural love, as it will forever.

And you are the summer with its tranquil, transcendent haze;
A perpetual radiance that ignites and brightens days;
No more so than on that day of fate, now ten years ago
When we stood in providence side-by-side, to each other our love bestow.

And after seeing how you’ve coped with dark winters gone before
I look upon you every day since then with quiet, marveled awe.
Our dear Megan is the spring, with beauty and bright expectation;
And all those around her blossom from her pure illumination.

She could have no better mother, and I no better wife;
With all of us in unison, there can be no better life
For all our futures are the autumn, with its contented peaceful hue
And I want to tell you how blessed I feel to be spending it with you.
BlackBerry Poem (Written on behalf of BlackBerry for Valentine's Day Marketing campaign)

I once loved a girl who loved me back very slightly,
So I started to call her from my BlackBerry nightly;
And eventually that girl who had had me so vexed
Was now sending me my own Valentine’s text.

But it was just after that when things began to unravel
Her work sent her off on some round-the-world travel;
When we tried to speak together about our love and desires
We couldn’t get in touch and were left with crossed wires.

So I posted her a gift to ensure we would not fail;
Her own hand-held BlackBerry, to access her hot-male
Wherever she was, from Greenford to Greenland
Like her new device, I was in the palm of her hand

Which is where I want to be, having made up my mind
That I’d like to give her a ring of a different kind,
Which I’ve known since my attempts for her affection were waged
So the next time I phone her, she will be engaged!

Happy Valentine’s Day from everyone at Blackberry

Mother's 50th Birthday Poem (Written on behalf
of three sisters for their mother's 50th birthday)

To Our Dear Mum,

You are the nucleus of this family that we are lovingly bound to
Like a compass point you stay fixed while we revolve around you
And of our guidance and support in life, you are the source
Like a sun holding the planets on their celestial course

And throughout our lives for any maternal advice we have sought
You have been there each time with your unconditional support
And irrespective of the topic of each daughter’s conversation
You are always there with words of love and gentle inspiration

In life you have given each one of us a truly impeccable start
And though we may not always tell you, it’s always in our hearts
And in many ways there is no goal a parent can achieve higher
Than being someone to whom their three daughters can aspire

And today we will all celebrate your fiftieth birthday with each other
But we also want to say thank you for being such an incredible mother
Because everything else aside, what it comes down to in the end
Is that you’re not just a great mother to us but also our true friend.
