At Any Later Time

Though my heart should beat wildly
Your hand in mine keeps it tame
And, approaching it shyly,
This altar to take your name,
I know, with no doubt in sight,
That never again shall I
Be given reason for fright.
And never again shall I
Have uncertainty near me
To distract me from my goal
Because, with the certainty
Of your smile, you make me whole.
Your love, so infused in me,
Gives me all the strength I need
And all my courage, you see,
That your love is all I need.
Its all I need for support
Its all I need to suppress
A frequent spiteful retort.
And while this may not impress
You at any later times,
Now my life is born anew
So brightly I hope it shines
On this day I marry you.
