My Tash's Wedding

The following is the poem I wrote and read at my great friend Tash's wedding, in Australia on the New South Wales south coast...a truly beautiful ceremony held over looking the crystal clear waters of Merimbula Point on Dec 6, 2009

Tash & Lucan…Silent Smiles

Silent smiles come about from inner-peace,
happiness and contentment.
When things are as they should be,
Nothing out of place, nothing wrong, no resentment.

Silent smiles are all around us, in the elements of
Water, Fire, Earth and Air
These things are as they should be,
You can add to that, Tash and Lucan, the newly married pair.

Silent smiles are on the faces
of the grains of sand on Whitehaven Beach,
For the neighbouring island of Hayman has produced
A coming together, an engagement and now a wedding speech.

Enjoy this forever-changing journey,
together as husband and wife,
And I’ll be silently smiling, knowing
Things are as they should be
In this beautiful existence, we call life.

I wish you a long, happy and healthy walk of wedded miles,
Things are as they should be,
And now it’s time
for silent smiles =)
