My sister and brother in law were married on the 10th September 2005 and although I´m a little late in wishing them happy aniversary, it´s better late than never! Here is the poem I wrote for their wedding day and read in church:
My sister,
My best friend,
The person I share my childhood memories with,
The one who makes me laugh,
And cry,
The one I can talk to for hours.
Sisterly love is a wonderful thing,
But we live three hundred miles apart.
When Sallianne met Tom she was so happy,
And all the jigsaw pieces seem to fit,
They love and laugh with each other,
Support and cherish one another,
Have learnt to compromise,
Built a house together,
And today are declaring to the world that they will be together forever,
I’m so glad they found each other,
I can’t imagine them being apart,
I want to see them grow old together,
Like our parents and grandparents have,
Family is the most important thing,
It makes us what we are,
We learn all our values from our family,
And most of all,
We learn to love.
Through this marriage I get extended family,
Increasing my love and support.
I wanted to stand here today, and say,
How happy I am for you both,
My sister and new brother,
I wish you a long and prosperous life together,
May you never grow tired of each other,
May we always be as close to one another,
May I be an aunty to your children,
And may you never forget the love,
Shared here today and everyday,
By all of the people who care so much about you,
The only love we keep is that which we share with others,
Thank you for your love.

A little bit of poetry
If I could inspire one child
to do some good in the world
If I could make them aware
of how their actions affect others
If I could get them to believe in themselves
no matter how many people put them down
If I could walk around and see
their ways as a reflection of me
If I could change their minds
about how to live in this throw away society
be more green!
If I could alter their view of the system
allow them to realise
it´s all about playing the game
If I could give their parents an insight
show them how beautiful and bright their children are
If I could blend
respect, passion and pride
into each and every one
If I could make a difference
then I´d feel like
a someone.
