now has arrived

in another time and place - another then

you planned a dreaming, a pleasing

that destiny might weave your lives together

for much is required of hope, of intention

in another time and place - another now

you planned this joy, this sharing

that circumstance might weave your living

for much is required of love, of commitment

in another time and place - another tomorrow

you planned your future, your happy story

that you might weave your happiness

for much is required of respect, of compassion

now in this present time and place

all is yours to promise and to celebrate
