Poem Suitable For Order Of The Day Needed

I've been looking all morning and can't find one suitable. It needs to stretch along the bottom of the OOTD when it's opened so it needs to be quite big.

Help!

    I like this one

    I Will Be Here
    Steven Curtis Chapman


    If in the morning when you wake,
    If the sun does not appear,
    I will be here.
    If in the dark we lose sight of love,
    Hold my hand and have no fear,
    I will be here.

    I will be here,
    When you feel like being quiet,
    When you need to speak your mind I will listen.
    Through the winning, losing, and trying we'll be together,
    And I will be here.
    If in the morning when you wake,
    If the future is unclear,
    I will be here.
    As sure as seasons were made for change,
    Our lifetimes were made for years,
    I will be here.

    I will be here,
    And you can cry on my shoulder,
    When the mirror tells us we're older.
    I will hold you, to watch you grow in beauty,
    And tell you all the things you are to me.
    We'll be together and I will be here.
    I will be true to the promises I've made,
    To you and to the one who gave you to me.
    I will be here
    or
    Because She Would Ask Me Why I Loved Her
    Christopher Brennan (****)

    If questioning would make us wise
    No eyes would ever gaze in eyes;
    If all our tale were told in speech
    No mouths would wander each to each.

    Were spirits free from mortal mesh
    And love not bound in hearts of flesh
    No aching breasts would yearn to meet
    And find their ecstasy complete.

    For who is there that lives and knows
    The secret powers by which he grows?
    Were knowledge all, what were our need
    To thrill and faint and sweetly bleed?

    Then seek not, sweet, the "If" and "Why"
    I love you now until I die.
    For I must love because I live
    And life in me is what you give

    OMG, that's the same one I'm doing on VP! What are you doing on the back page? So far I've designed the front cover, the Wedding Party page and obviously the order of the day but I have a page blank.

    I rather like "I will be here" which I've sent to my b2b to look at and may well try and use in some capacity - it fits in rather nicely with a piece of music we've chosen for the register signing.

    I fell in love with this one which I heard on a film - the name of which I can't remember now - someones family reunion or something....

    In & Out of Time by Maya Angelou

    The sun has come.
    The mist has gone.
    We see in the distance...
    our long way home.
    I was always yours to have.
    You were always mine.
    We have loved each other in and out of time.
    When the first stone looked up at the blazing sun
    and the first tree struggled up from the forest floor
    I had always loved you more.
    You freed your braids...
    gave your hair to the breeze.
    It hummed like a hive of honey bees.
    I reached in the mass for the sweet honey comb there....
    Mmmm...God how I love your hair.
    You saw me bludgeoned by circumstance.
    Lost, injured, hurt by chance.
    I screamed to the heavens....loudly screamed....
    Trying to change our nightmares into dreams...
    The sun has come.
    The mist has gone.
    We see in the distance our long way home.
    I was always yours to have.
    You were always mine.
    We have loved each other in and out
    in and out
    in and out
    of time.
