My Favourite Day

Happy Anniversary, my love!

Wedding

If anyone is in Christ there is a new creation 2 Cor.5:17

Now you have come at last to the first day

Inside that Love whose end is to begin.

Circles and spirals find their hidden way

Home to this centre where they hold and stay.

Old lives renew and quicken from within,

Love is the fountain in whose flow and play

All that you are is cleansed of every stain.

Singly you die and doubly live again.

Joy is alive in you like hidden grain

Open and growing in your common life

As you become each other’s dew and rain

Nurturing God’s good garden. Man and wife,

Now and forever, stand before your Lord

And be created by his Living Word.
