I have waited
Like the petals of the rose waits for the sun
I have waited
Over the years
Over the seasons
Over hopes and heart breaks
Over promises and night storms
But dawns light has come
And I see it in you
Today, I give you all I have hid within
Today, I promise you a life fulfilled
Today, I accept all you are and hold dear
Today, I share all your pain and gain
Today, I pledge my undying love
Loyalty and devotion
Tolerance and satisfaction
Today...
I become your bone and your flesh
I have found in you the favor of the Lord
My strength is renewed in you smile
In you I have found
A lover, a companion,
A soul mate, a best friend
I promise to cherish and love you
I will be your dream come through
No place on earth will be too small for us too
Even in my heart, there will always be space for you
I know you
Because I have spent my whole life dreaming of you
I know your voice,
it's tone, it flavor
I know your touch,
it's feel, its texture
I know you scent,
it's comfort, it's pleasure
My eyes,
My eyes see only you
My heart knows only you.
My love was birth to satisfy you alone
My King, my friend, my all
Who else would carry my burdens with happiness?
Who else in the stillness of night would give up her only wrapper to keep me warm?
Soil her hands with my waste and not hand me a bill?
Feed me every good thing to her last and be content in my satisfaction?
You are beautiful in kindness
Exceptional in love
You are my champion
The gentle light that cannot be quenched
An ocean of advice that can never run dry
A force of inspiration stronger than the ware wind
A smile that not even time or hardship can erase
Sisters are a treasure
The diamond buried deep in the earth
The essence of existence
Humanity's quintessence
Beauty of life
The tender yet strong
Mothers of the universe
The nectar of greatness
These are my sisters
