My daughter asked me to look around for a reading for her wedding. I ended up writing one. I'm a bit insecure about it's quality. I think she would use it to humor me even if it is not very good. Opinions?

Love is not an Accident

True love is not an accident.
It is a work of art,
Carefully crafted, nurtured and developed.
When people talk of “falling in love”
They only refer to the recognition of potential.
When you find someone you respect and admire,
then you can begin to build a masterpiece of love.
Using kindness, patience, selflessness and understanding,
you create together a safe sanctuary for the both of you,
and a beautiful inspiration to those around you.

Reads like a toast. I'd find something more metaphoric and heartfelt. The first line accident and the second line masterpiece are not in the same catagory. Maybe crayon drawing/materpiece or accident/plan, see what I mean? Hey, Love IS work. Love is being willing to give all and recieve nothing and in doing so, we get everything. You don't build love on a frame work of respect, admiration, potential, you use those qualities to shore up the the building that sits on a foundation of love which is the beginning. and you build with patience, knowing mistake will be made but can be patched with respect, understanding, and commitment. Gezze I hope this helps. Although I myself am single so consider the source.
