A little bit of poetry...

Our Wedding Day Poem
by: Sherelyn Whittum Yancey

On the outside

We look different

I am black

I am white

I am male

I am female

Yet on the inside

We seem so similar

Created from the same clay

The Lord God formed us

I say, "At long last..."

I say, "Finally I have found..."

Bone of my bone

Soul of my soul

My wife

My husband

My sweetheart

My friend

I leave my family

You cleave to me

We are now a couple

And still individuals

Oneness is calling

United in purpose

Sojourners in following

Our Lord Jesus Christ

Let us return to the garden

Let us dance in the Son

Let us celebrate the love

That has joined us as ONE.

I thought this poem was so beautiful...and so fitting for CJ and me. I hope to incorporate it somehow in our wedding.
