THE BELLS RING NOT FOR JUST THESE TWO

The bells ring not for just these two
Who will be joined in love today.
They also ring for me and you.

And not just for the families who
Now celebrate, as well they may.
The bells ring not for just these, too.

And not just those who know or knew
These families well, who came their way.
They also ring for me and you.

And not just those who came to view
The bride, the gown, the whole array.
The bells ring not for just these, too.

And not just those whose love is true,
Or those who would their doubts allay.
They also ring for me and you.

For all are joined in love, and do
Rejoice to hear the sweet bells play!
The bells ring not for just these two.
They also ring for me and you.

GRADUATION IS A TIME

Graduation is a time
For feeling very proud,
For thinking lots of lovely thoughts
And saying them out loud.

It's a time for feeling love
About to overflow,
And just before it leaps its banks,
To let the loved one know.

And so we're very proud of you
For being who you are,
For making something of yourself,
For making it this far.

We're proud because we are a part
Of everything you do.
This time's the time to say how much
Love we have for you.

WE'VE BEEN DATING NOW MORE THAN A YEAR

We've been dating now more than a year,
And I want to be with you many more;
But there are things that I've been waiting for,
And why you still avoid them isn't clear.
What is it in our intimacy you fear?
What hurdles of the mind, what inner law
Shuts the gates of pleasure just before
Our love can gallop off in full career?
Is it some alignment of our stars
That twists your taste just as we near the line?
Some gremlin that turns ecstasy to ice?
Or is it some tough principle that bars
Affection from erasing yours and mine,
Joining us in one bright paradise?

SOME PEOPLE SEEM JUST MADE FOR EARLY MARRIAGE

Some people seem just made for early marriage:
Like a fertile field they know their fate.
Life comes calling for them in a carriage
And takes them to the ornamental gate.
There they find their pleasure, rich with love,
A place they prune and water till it glows,
And there they dwell till death and never move,
At least that seems the way it often goes.
Actually, such love is dear and rare;
Not many can sustain it for so long.
The two of you, however, seem to bear
The marks of joy that to those few belong.
Cross over, then, into that chosen place
Where love rules all, and all is full of grace.

HAPPY FATHER'S DAY TO MY DEAR DAD

Happy Father's Day to my dear Dad!
As you have loved me, so have I loved you,
Pleased to tell you, now that words are due,
Pleased to have this chance to make you glad.
Your years of love and sacrifice have had
For me the force that you would wish them to,
A wind that takes me home to harbors new,
The inner voice in clothes familiar clad.
How might I be myself, except I see
Each gesture in the mirror of your grace,
Remembered as it was when long ago,
'Ere I knew why, I looked to you for love?
So am I of you inextricably,
Defined by trends not difficult to trace
As I grow into someone that I know,
Yet myself in ways that time will prove.

EVERY SKY'S A BRAND NEW SKY

Every sky's a brand new sky,
Uncanny once again;
And every kiss, a brand new kiss,
New won, no matter when.

And every love, a brand new love,
New cherished every day;
Though lips and heart may slowly age,
The awe-struck boy will stay.

And I will vow again to love
You each day of my life,
As though each morning were the first
We rose as man and wife.

Just as a meadow washed by rain
Is relit by the dawn,
Just so our love, as we grow old,
Will each day be reborn.

TEACHERS FLOW LIKE MOUNTAIN STREAMS

Teachers flow like mountain streams
High up through ice and snow,
And bring their learning down to earth
Not far from what we know.
Knowledge you have pure and cold,
Yet one thing, naturally,
Of all you know I value most:
Understanding me.
