They Said We'd Never Make It

They said we'd never make it,
But now we've come this far.
Today we celebrate our love
And honor who we are.
We had a hard beginning,
Adults before our time.
But growing up together made
Our deepest roots entwine.

You are my life, my love, my hope,
My friend, my world, my song,
The mirror of my unseen heart,
The place where I belong.

And as our one life passes,
Through love we live for two:
A cornucopia of joy
That we this day renew.

  • Beautiful

    I used this poem for my Wedding in June 2009. Have been with my husband since I was 14 yrs old (he was 15) so it was the perfect choice for us. When we got married in June this year we had been together for nearly 13 years.
