Wedding Poetry
Hello everyone,
I've been trying to find a suitable poem for my wedding in a couple of months. I have been trying to find a traditional Australian bush poem that would work as a reading. The missus is Canadian so I would like to have a traditional Canadian poem followed by a traditional Australian poem. This has been harder than I thought so I am asking for ideas.
Are there any traditional Aussie Bush poems out there that deal with love I could use??
Thanks,
Mick.
