What you've made true
A poem I wrote and performed for Tom and Carly Quinton on their handfasting in 2015
So proud to know you,
So proud to be your friend,
For what you wonderful people have,
So many long for themselves!
~
What you’ve made happen,
What you’ve made true:
A lifetime in pleasure,
A lifetime in joy,
A lifetime of laughter,
And much more to boast!
Respect, adventure, wisdom in pearls and in stepping-stones,
Loyalty, funny games,
Poetry and song!
A home,
A love,
A cat and a dog!
A wish to wander and explore,
With your hands always there for the other to reach out for.
A union in heart, body, mind and soul!
Ten years and a day, and forever more to come!
~
Yes, my friends,
What you’ve made happen,
What you’ve made true,
Shows the world (quite publicly!)
How happy you are and so genuine,
How being yourselves will always win the one who’s won your heart (and body, mind and soul!),
How your natural beauty reflects in each other,
As you display yourselves so openly,
Two wonderful people who’ve found the wonderful love
That today we can all brilliantly see!

If You Love Me, You'll Do It
I met Jason when I was five years old. I could say that I loved him from the moment I saw him. He was so handsome to me and I felt in awe by his presence. When they introduced him as the new kid in school, I wanted to be his friend right away. I remember it like it was yesterday. I remember his smile and how he didn't seem shy. He appeared confident and ready to learn. I waved at him and said "hello," before anyone else could even say a word. He sat next to me, and I asked him if he wanted to be friends. He looked so happy as he said, "Yes!"
