Clive has written more than twenty poems suitable to be read at weddings and several of them have been used in ceremonies all over the world. Clive is happy to let Wedding Celebrants have access to all of these poems if they contact him. Here are just three examples of his wedding poetry:
WEDDING VOWS
May we forever be lovers,
May we forever be friends,
And should we hurt each other,
May we quickly make amends.
May we enjoy our passion,
But never let compassion die,
Thinking in selfless terms as we,
Never emphasising I.
May we forever be soul-mates,
May our love eternally last,
May the food of love sustain us,
May we never have to fast.
May we use each other’s strengths,
When we are feeling weak,
May we both learn to compromise,
And always as one voice speak.
May we never keep dark secrets,
May we never tell each other lies,
May we both work unceasingly,
To ensure our love never dies.
MARRIAGE BLESSING
We know your wish to unite
Is so truly meant,
Let your love be the stone,
This blessing - the cement.
May you build on firm foundations,
And never build on sand,
May you both embrace the future,
And approach it hand-in-hand.
May your love for one another
Increase with each new day,
Bringing you true happiness,
Never causing you dismay.
May this blessing merely be
The very start of your new life,
May your dreams become reality,
Now that you are man and wife.
I'VE FOUND SOMEONE WHO ...
I’ve found someone who …
I can love forever – I love so much,
Their loving ways, their caring touch,
Will stand by me when times are tough,
Never saying that they’ve had enough.
I’ve found someone who …
Can raise my smile and decrease my frown,
Will help me up when I’m feeling down,
Will make life’s worries melt away,
Providing the sunshine of my day.
I’ve found someone who …
Will always listen, try to understand,
Will guide me with a patient hand,
Will love me both in body and soul,
Making my happiness their main goal.
I’ve found someone who …
Will be both gentle and be kind,
No better soul-mate could I find,
Always willing to talk things out,
Never needing to rage or shout.
I’ve found someone who …
Is willing with me – to share their life,
To make us a team of man and wife,
But most of all - I’ve found a friend,
Here by my side - till my life’s end …
