Cherished are the memories
That brought us to this day
For yesterday, was just a dream
A wish to contemplate.

A fantasy where in my mind
A fleeting glimpse I'd see
A true vision of the true desires
I longed for endlessly.

And when I dreamed, I did not know
The love I'd feel for you today
The height of my true feelings
And the depths they would portray.

And if I have one wish today
A simple wish would be
Is that the love we feel this moment
Last eternally.

Reality has merged now
AS you stand here by my side
And as I join your hand in mine
My heart does fill with pride.

For as I pledge my love to you
I see in many ways
Reflections of my love for you
Are mirrored in your gaze.

And by our presence here today
And for the love we share
I thank you for our yesterdays
That brought us to be here.

But more than this, I vow to you
My wishes yet to come
Tomorrow's dream and fantasies
This day that we are one.

Tomorrow's an adventure
That we will share together now
Our future's intertwined forever
Through this holy vow.

I promise to remember
In the future years and days
The love I feel for you this moment
...Dreams fulfilled today.

For in the coming years
AS we move on and reminisce
Back to the day I stood with you
And promise with a kiss.

Blessed are the days
That I have looked into your eyes
And felt the warmth of love and reflect
The essence of our lives.

Yesterday, we dream of what might be
Today, we validate our love
And tomorrow we will cherish
The life we have shared as one.

An elderly Chinese woman had two large pots, each hung on the ends of a Pole Which she carried across her neck. One of the pots had a crack in it while the other pot was perfect and Always Delivered a full portion of water. At the end of the long walks from the stream to the house, the cracked pot Arrived only half full.

For full two years this went on daily, with the woman bringing home only One and a half pots of water.Of course, the perfect pot was proud of its accomplishments.But the poor cracked pot was ashamed of its own imperfection, and miserable That it could only do half of what it had been made to do.After two years of what it perceived to be bitter failure, it spoke to the Woman one day by the stream.

"I am ashamed of myself, because this crack in my side causes water to leak Out all the way back to your house."

The old woman smiled, "Did you notice that there are flowers on your side Of The path, but not on the other pot's side?"

"That's because I have always known about your flaw, so I planted flower Seeds on your side of the path, and every day while we walk back, you water Them."

"For two years I have been able to pick these beautiful flowers to decorate The table. Without you being just the way you are, there would not be this beauty to Grace the house."

Each of us has our own unique flaw. But it's the cracks and flaws we each Have that make our lives together so very interesting and rewarding.

You've just got to take each person for what they are and look for the good In them.
