Not only for what
You have made of yourself,
But for what
You are making of me,
I love you
For ignoring the possiblibies
Of the fool in me
And for laying firm hold
Of the possiblibities for good.
Why do I love you?
I love you
For closing your eyes
To the discords-
And for adding to the music in me
By worshipful listening.
I love you because you
Are helping me to make
Of the lumber of my life
Not a tavern
But a temple'
And out of the words
Of my everday
Not a reproach
But a song.
I love you
Becaue you have done
More than any creed
To make me happy.
You have done it
Without a word
Without a touch,
Without a sign.
You have done it
Just by being yourself.
After all
Perhaps that is what
Love means.

Now, as we put our arms around each other, in sincere and affectionate token of our deep and abiding love, we would lay aside all disturbing thoughts, all misunderstandings, all unworthiness....Who is to blame is not important; only how shall we set the situation right. And so, serving and being served, loving and being loved, blessing and being blessed, we shall make a happy, peaceful home, where hearts shall never drop their leaves, but where we and our children shall learn to face lif joyfully, fearlessly, triumphantly, so near as God shall give us grace. Goodnight, beloved.
