THE GLORY OF LOVE

You've got to give a little, take a little,
And let your poor heart break a little.
Thats the story of, thats the glory of love.
You've got to laugh a little, cry a little,
Until the clouds roll by a little.
Thats the story of, thats the glory of love.
As long as there's the two of us,
We've got the world and all its charms.
And when the world is through with us,
We've got each others arms.
You've got to win a little, lose a little,
Yes, and always have the blues a little.
Thats the story of, thats the glory of love.
Thats the story of, thats the glory of love.
Bette Midler

STAND BY ME

When the night has come
And the land is dark
And the moon is the only light we'll see
No I won't be afraid, no I won't be afraid
Just as long as you stand, stand by me
If the sky that we look upon
Should tumble and fall
And the mountains should crumble to the sea
I won't cry, I won't cry, no I won't shed a tear
Just as long as you stand, stand by me
Ben.E.King

Civil Partnership Poems

**

At last, when all the summer shine
That warmed life's early hours is past,
Your loving fingers seek for mine
And hold them close at last at last!

Not oft the robin comes to build
Its nest upon the leafless bough
By autumn robbed, by winter chilled,
But you, dear heart, you love me now.

Though there are shadows on my brow
And furrows on my cheek, in truth,
The marks where Time's remorseless plough
Broke up the blooming sward of Youth,

Though fled is every girlish grace
Might win or hold a lover's vow,
Despite my sad and faded face,
And darkened heart, you love me now!

I count no more my wasted tears;
They left no echo of their fall;
I mourn no more my lonesome years;
This blessed hour atones for all.

I fear not all that Time or Fate
May bring to burden heart or brow,
Strong in the love that came so late,
Our souls shall keep it always now!

Old and good friends share a piece
of passion, pain and pleasure.
That no-one else, no family can
begin to know or treasure.

It's as if a secret room
held a private store.
and every time they met, they could
go through that special door.

It doesn't matter if they see
each other every day.
or years and years go by before
they come and go away.

The moment that they meet it all
is there - the memories of
fierce loyalty in times of need
and gratitude and love

Sometimes you love something so much
that it hurts to leave it, but you must.
Sometimes it hurts too much
to hold on to that thing you love.
And sometimes you let go of what you love
because it hurts, but then just sometimes...
you get it back and live happily ever after.

**

Treasure the love you receive above all.
It will survive long after your good health has vanished.
Og Mandino
