We sat in the Chapel,
Friends all around.
We were asked to light a candle,
Light a candle of delight,
Or of sorrow,
Or not light a candle at all
It was entirely up to us.
I could not refuse
And lit a candle,
Spoke of my absolute delight,
Delight of Mary,
Mary and I.
We had found each other
And together we go forward
Into a life together
Knowing that Our God
Is looking down on us
And smiling at our joy
Which will be with us,
With us to eternity.

Argh! KP with me for eternity! lol. Never been to a Unitarian Chapel.
The Unitarians are much more open in their beliefs Orchi.

Thanks Gold. IT's not 'beliefs' that I have so much trouble with, as 'money-grubbing places' - come join us, (you'll soon be skint!). They whisper that bit in brackets.
sounds like a sensible idea to me ..
Thank you Neville, it does to me as well.

Sounds like a decent idea, what ever lights your fire. 💜
Thank you Teddy, it looks good to me.

Far be it for me, D. Dave, atheistic agnostic, to be so presumptive as to take on the role of Religious Counsellor, but should your recent spiritual exploration prove in some way not suited Andy, then you could always try the Quakers.
(Whom I admire, given a friend who practises).
Whatever happens Dave I will always go my own way anyway. Thank you for your kind comment,
Andy
