"Iyanla's Couples Poem"
Posted by smg712 on 03-08-06 at 01:35 PM
Does anybody remember the beautiful poem that Iyanla read at the end of the Couples Bootcamp Vow Renewal Ceremony? Then end of it read like this:
My body and my mind may fail
You are the strength of my heart
You are my joy forever..
Does anyone remember the entire poem?

I'm also looking for the 5 components of commitment, the WHOLE commitment ceremony (I only got to "...and I choose US...") as well as the poem Iyanla read.
Would be exceedingly grateful for any and all help in any of the three areas.

Knowing what I know now,
I choose me
I choose you
I choose us
I choose love.
I choose to be kind and humble
when I want to be defensive
I choose to speak.
When I want to withhold
I choose to be honest.
When I want to decieve
I did not catch this reply,
Then something about choosing to stay.

I will listen again and see if I can make the last part out. Sis is just home from hospital and sleeping right now.

Knowing what I know now...
I choose me
I choose you
I choose us
I choose love

I choose to be kind and humble
when I want to be defensive.

I choose to speak
when I want to withhold.

I choose to be honest
when I want to deceive.

I choose to stay
when I want to leave.

What treasure have I beyond your love?
There is nothing I desire beyond you.
My body and mind may fail,
But you are the strength of my heart.
You are my joy forever.
