"Shines So Bright" - Poem for Teresa and Stan

Recently, my co-worker, Teresa got married and I wrote this poem for her.


Shines So Bright
Dedicated to Teresa and Stan on Saturday, July 11, 2009

Summer sunlight sparkles for you today –
your happy glow the only thing brighter.
Years of friendship blossomed like
hundreds of tiny petals
slowly opening on a deep red rose.

But now the wait is over.
The time has finally come.
The future has arrived
and all of your dreams
are coming true.

In a world of chaos,
two souls connected,
accepted each other
for who they are
all the good and bad.

You have found friendship,
companionship, trust and respect.
And you have found
the most important thing of all:
LOVE.
