Love – Richard and Ruth’s wedding poem

4 letters

L O V E

Is why we’re standing here today

And See I’m not standing here for show

But I’m here to tell you briefly about the bond

Between me and my brother Richard

Because if I don’t stand here and say my piece then I know that I’ll be lying

And maybe I won’t know peace

See

I see a lot of him in me

But in years of searching to find me

I failed to see those 4 letter words staring right back at me

Not the conventional way though

But in the form of criticism and sheer desire

Richard You taught me how to be better

And never settle for less

And for that I will always be blessed

You push me to think out of the box and dare to dream that I can have a union as beautiful as yours

You see you taught me to strive for more

Because all though we’re both laid back

More is always what we want for our family

And see family is why we’re here today

To witness the joining of two family’s

The Asare’s and the Abe’s

And I don’t wanna ramble on so please give me one more moment

In Mark 10:9 it says: Therefore what God has joined together, let no one separate.

And in Ecclesiastes 4:12 it says: Though one may be overpowered, two can defend themselves. A cord of three strands is not quickly broken.

Just like in Mathew 18:20 when it says: For where two or three are gathered together in My name, I am there in the midst of them.

And as we are gathered here today in his name I urge you to stand up as we lift up our glasses to echo this prayer in to the world for the newly weds

Because those 4 letter words

L O V E

Is why were here today…
