About me:
I created
Handfastings.org
to help link people in the Pagan and Wiccan communities with ordained officiants who perform Wedding Ceremonies, Vow Renewal ceremonies, Wiccanings, Baby Namings, Commitment Ceremonies, and other Rites of Passage and celebrations.
Allie (my hubby) and I had an awesome Wiccan wedding and I hope that those who wish to get married in an unconventional way have as much luck and spirit that we had for ours!

MOTHERS DAY
Mothers love, a precious thing To comfort you,she'll even sing A song of love,and deep felt caring An energy, she's allways sharing A bond that flows,from mother to child She keeps you calm, when things get wild Never to busy, to stop and listen Her understanding helps,your soul glisten To our family, she is the glue Allways has, that little wink for you So with this poem, I thought I'd say Mom your allways BEST, even on MOTHERS DAY
