Years ago I stumbled upon this excerpt from a poem. Or this is the poem itself? I can't remember:

"For this is wisdom--to love and live,
To take what fate or the gods may give,
To ask no question, to make no prayer,
To kiss the lips and caress the hair,
Speed passion's ebb as we greet its flow
To have and to hold, and, in time--let go."

Beautiful isn't it? Who wrote it, and what is the title? I'm wanting to know if there is more or not. I hope to use part of this in my wedding vows someday.

Thanks!!!! :-)
