Always There

Dedicated to Apa and Alexis Garay! Your union this weekend inspired me and as you both were doing the toast I wrote this piece at the wedding reception (gotta love technology). Alexis baby you did it...I've known you since I was in 4th grade and we were riding on the "Russ Bus" to our after school program to take swim classes! I'm so happy for you and may our friendship continue to flourish throughout the years. May God bless the both of you!


Always There
Waiting in the wings
Humming bird singing
Praises that I reconnected with you
Days, months and years have gone by
And I won't lie
As I tell you that I've had my eye
On what I saw as my future
Baby I would have had it no other way
As we lay
In unison tonight
I've been your future for years
Have even shed happy tears
Thinking of the night we would unite in holy matrimony
Being my inspiration
Memories glistening
Remembering our long past
God has granted permission for us to last

Many years to come

Prayers, answers and clarity have come along

Visions of you is that picture perfect song

Always there

To bare all that I've been through

You've been my friend since the days of school

Through ups and downs

The bad and the good

Knowing deep in my heart we would

Become one

I will always be there

Not a fair weather friend

I'm the divine partner God designed that will be with you until the end

Love as pure as a birds flight in the clear sky

Full moon hanging on a crisp night

Sunlight as it shines its rays

Looking forward to the many days

Journeys ahead

Of us lovingly dancing down a beautiful path

In unity

Congrats Apa and Alexis Garay
