My husband and I are renewing vows for our 10th anniversary in October. I'm looking for a couple of readings that would be 2 minutes long or so. They don't have to be from the bible.

What have you got? What's your favorite?

    e e cummings:

    i carry your heart with me (i carry it in
    my heart) i am never without it (anywhere
    i go you go, my dear; and whatever is done
    by only me is your doing, my darling)

    i fear no fate (for you are my fate, my sweet) i want
    no world (for beautiful you are my world, my true)
    and it's you are whatever a moon has always meant
    and whatever a sun will always sing is you

    here is the deepest secret nobody knows
    (here is the root of the root and the bud of the bud
    and the sky of the sky of a tree called life; which grows
    higher than the soul can hope or mind can hide)
    and this is the wonder that's keeping the stars apart

    i carry your heart (i carry it in my heart)

    I wrote this myself for my upcoming wedding:

    I found you in the morning, where earth gave way to water
    I walked beside you for a time, my steps they did not falter
    The faded earth, the heavy sky, the old and wizened trees
    The river rolling far below, like waves upon the sea

    I found you in the afternoon, where sky gave way to cloud
    I dreamed my dreams all day with you, but said no words aloud
    The darting bird, the blooming flower, the strong uplifting breeze
    The life that flourishes all around, to lay the world to ease

    I found you in the evening, where dark gave way to fire
    We danced and drank the night away, I seem to never tire
    The brightest stars, the drifting ash, the moonlight shining down
    In the stillness of the night, let your thoughts slow down

    I found you in my Heart, where fear gave way to hope
    I'll hold you there a lifetime, if you'll but lend the rope
    I'll keep the path, say the words, and let my mind be still
    I'll dream your dreams, and hold you close, all this I swear I will

    If ever there was a dream come true,
    it would be me and you.
    sharing love so tenderly,
    both our hearts at last set free.
    soaring like a bird in the sky,
    knowing our love will never die.
    the two of us sharing one heart,
    a joy that has filled us from the start.
    I hold you in my arms and I start to quiver,
    overwhelmed by your eyes, I start to shiver.
    take my hand, as we walk through our days,
    stand by me always, come what may.
    I’ll be your strength, and you’ll be mine,
    side by side throughout all time.
    if ever there was a dream come true,
    it is us; me and you.
