October 4, 1986
shadows flit across the floor
here then gone away
endless cycle:
light
shadow
you
moving alive
by the shadow you cast
we see who you are
children of Light
by your deeds are you known
as in darkness you wander
eternally home
God’s hand is near
the light that casts the shadow
the higher voice you hear
as now in life you travel
side by side your way
I pray the God to guide you
onward to that day
when together we shall praise Him
and thank Him for His love
God bless you both forever
in life
in love
in Him
To Andy and Yvonne, October 4, 1986. On the
shadows at their dance, September 20, 1986.
Andy sang this to Beth and I at our own wedding
three years later.
