Father Daughter My daddy was my hero

For my very youngest years;Daddy kept me safe and happy,And he chased away my fears.I watched in awe and wonderAt each manly thing he did;

Oh, I looked up to my daddy,When I was a little kid.

My dad was still my hero,As the years passed, one by one.

He taught important lessons,And he took some time for fun...

The poem I gave myself to him I gave myself to him,

And took himself for pay.The solemn contract of a life

Was ratified this way

The value might disappoint,Myself a poorer prove

Than this my purchaser suspect,The daily own of Love

Depreciates the sight;But, ‘til the merchant buy,

Still fabled, in the isles of spiceThe subtle cargoes lie.

At least, ‘tis mutual risk,Some found it mutual gain;

Sweet debt of Life, each night to owe,Insolvent, every noon.

Vows (Bride)I’ve dreamed of the man I’d want to be with forever: strong, smart,

kind, tender, romantic. You’re better than I dreamed. When I’m with you, my heart glows with pleasure, and I wonder how I could be so blessed. I was born for you. Let me be your friend, your playmate,

your biggest fan. I offer you my heart, my mind, my life.

Vows (Groom)I always knew the kind of woman I wanted:

bright, attractive, fun-loving, affectionate. You’re all that and more. When we’re together,

I’m happier than I’ve ever been before. You bring out the best in me. You’re so easy to love, and no one can love you like I do.

Let me be your hero, your lover, your greatest admirer. I offer you myself, my love, my life.

First time he kissed meFirst time he kissed me, he but only kissed The finger of this hand wherewith I write;

And ever since, it grew more clean and white, Slow to world-greetings, quick with its “Oh, list,”

When the angels speak. A ring of amethyst I could not wear here, plainer to my sight,

Than that first kiss. The second passed in height The first, and sought the forehead, and half missed,

Half falling on the hair. O beyond meed! That was the chrism of love, which love’s own crown,

With sanctifying sweetness, did precede. The third upon my lips was folded down

In perfect, purple state; since when, indeed, I have been proud and said, “My love, my own.”

for our friends in all parts of the earth. Amen

I remember when I was in school, they would ask, 'What are you going to be when you grow up?' and then you'd have to draw a picture of it. I drew a picture of myself as a bride.

In-law JokeThe middle aged man was visibly shaken when his Doctor advised that he had only 6

month’s to live because of the terminal disease that was detected during a recent physical check-up. The Doctor suggested that he should get his ‘house in order’ , make

sure his Will was current and ensure all final arrangements were in place for the funeral. He should then make plans to enjoy what might be left of his life, to the fullest.

‘What will you do for the last six months?’ asked the Doctor.

His patient thought for a few minutes then replied, ‘I think I’ll go and live with my Mother-in-law’.

Surprised by the answer, the Doctor asked, ‘Of all people, why in the would you want to live with your Mother-in-law?’

‘Because it’ll be the longest six months of my Life!’
