If you are looking for a modern wedding reading then have a read of "Love" by Roy Croft below...
- I love you,
- Not only for what you are
- But for what I am
- When I am with you.
- I love you,
- Not only for what
- You have made of yourself
- But for what
- You are making of me.
- I love you,
- For the part of me
- That you bring out;
- I love you,
- For putting your hand
- Into my heaped-up heart
- And passing over
- All the foolish, weak things
- That you can’t help
- Dimly seeing there,
- And for drawing out
- Into the light
- All the beautiful belongings
- That no one else had looked
- Quite far enough to find.
- I love you because you
- Are helping me to make
- of the lumber of my life
- Not a tavern
- But a temple;
- Out of works
- Of my every day
- Not a reproach
- But a song.
