for Duncan and Nedra 16th May 2014



Everything and nothing changes
now these vows are done;
the ‘overture’ is over
a new melody begun.

As bread and wine you mingle,
histories entwined
within eternal love
and care
of a God who’s here,
a God who’s there.

Days of passion lie before you,
nights of doubt will intervene,
romance, in tidal ebb and flow,
will hold you in between.

Today won’t last forever,
through a future yet unclear
promise shared in the here and now
will dictate the path you steer.

I will light a candle for you,
so will others here,
as the differences between you
become the embrace that holds you near.

As bread and wine you mingle,
twined and intertwined,
within eternal love
and care
of a God who’s here,
a God who’s there.
