Written for the wedding of Shona Phillips and Daniel Ngo in 2020.

The melody of love rings sweet and true:
in beats of eight we count the music out.
We’ve built our home together, me and you,
with patient strength and laughter all about.
My home, my love, is wrapped up in your heart,
no matter if you’re near to me or far,
and when the stormy seas keep us apart
I hear the song no matter where you are—
for love is like a ribbon tied to me,
connecting us wherever we may go;
the beat of eight describes infinity
and gives the song we share the space to grow.
    I searched the world to find the one that fit,
    and this, and us, my love, it’s you—you’re it.
