I wrote this poem a few years ago. I can't remember why or for whom I wrote it. My mum found it and without asking me she gave it to her friends to use as their wedding vows (luckily I am very fond of the friends in question!) Anyway I think I will, some years on, now dedicate it to my little niece who I have yet to meet. She had a bit of a rough entry into the world and since I have an awful flu I have yet to see her and she is already more than a week old. So this poem is for her.
May your truth be told
Your memories gold
May your path be guided by love
May you speak without fear
Your conscience remain clear
May you always believe in yourself
May your garden flourish
Your spirit be nourished
May you find your soul's true mate
May your journey enlighten you
Your friendships remain true
May your return always be safe
May nights darkness shroud you
From the ghosts that crowd you
May you not regret the past
May you cry when you need to
Let your passion feed you
May the stars make true your dreams
May the tides heartbeat still you
And peace dwell within you
May the sun not set too soon
May still waters calm you
And love disarm you
May you see the whole of the moon
