Hold this magic moment in your heart,
this feeling you both feel at the start.
Never let troubles tear you apart.
Hold this moment through every strife,
this moment you became man and wife.
Hold this precious moment all your life.

(Dedicated to my workmate, who is getting married today)
!
Why wait until right now?
A groom is just about to take his vow!
Someone I work with is getting married today,
so rain, you can rain now, but then please go away!
Although it is very true I well need my garden watering,
their wedding plans this sudden heavy rain is slaughtering.
Let this needed downpour just be a quick little friendly sprinkle
and just before the time when their wedding bells start to tinkle
rain please stop now. Rain please go away and let the sun back out,
or the blushing bride will get her wedding dress wet, without a doubt.
They are going to get married in a nearby church here at half past two,
so
lis
ten
up,
I
beg
of
you.

My words seem to have worked – the sun came out again in time for their wedding!
I packed my overnight case and sighed. I hated this, hated going anywhere far away from home during the heart of the winter. I was always scared that my car would break down in the middle of nowhere, during a snow storm. But I had to conquer my fear this particular frosty Friday afternoon. I had a call of duty. My old friend had a pressing need to see me today. He sounded desperate on the phone. He wouldn’t enlarge on his plight, just said that he needed to see me this very day, and that I could stay overnight, so I wouldn’t have to drive back in the dark.
