Jess' Renewal of Vows

24 September 2005


      Patricia Sparkes, you make me want to be a better man.

You are the finest human being there has ever been.

A quarter century has passed with you here in my life -

I marvel at my fortune, having you all to myself.

If I believed such things, I'd say you're an Angel sent by God.

Instead, I believe in something more miraculous and odd:

that of your own free will you love me despite all my flaws.

I promise you that from now on I'll give you proper cause:

I'll love and cherish, honor, help and appreciate you each day,

through thick and thin, for all our lives, forever, come what may.

You make me want to be a better husband, father, friend

and lover - starting here and now, all over again.
