The first time I feel (not read) the words of Kahlil Gibran, a 19th century poet, was between several other prayer cards in a PRAYER box gift, something which I bought for myself because I was beginning to learn how to pray again at that time. (After a few days of having good company with the cards, I am now getting re-acquainted again to God.)
The poem that I read by Kahlil Gibran is titled MARRIAGE BLESSING. I hope readers feel relished and engrossed in his powerful and beautiful words below. I am reproducing his words in a scroll, frame it and presenting it as a gift to my brother-in-law and his future wife.
Kahlil Gibran's MARRIAGE BLESSING
Wedding
by: Kahlil Gibran (1883 - 1931)
You shall be together when the white wings of death scatter your days. Ay, you shall be together even in the silent memory of God. But let there be spaces in your togetherness, And let the winds of the heavens dance between you. Love one another, but make not a bond of love: Give your hearts, but not into each other's keeping. |
Really nice poem. I am sure your brother-in-law and his wife would love it.
ReplyDeleteWent to Central Market KL last week to book a handmade framed of the poem. costs me RM160. I hope it's worth it.
