Finally, all the searching is over.
The lonely nights are no more!
In this world of uncertainty
You have found someone you can be certain of.
You will treasure each other
For the rest of your lives.
You have both been through the throbbing pain of grief,
As if the loss of love would surely mean death.
You each stayed within the safety zone,
Terrified to go through the intense pain of heartache again.
Now the constraints of isolation and fear have been broken.
You have found each other too precious to let go.
Your love for each other was so
Unexpected, beautiful, and passionate.
You have found the gift that makes life good.
A mutual affection of true love
That points you both in the same direction.
True love is stronger than one’s own will.
Each day you set your own self aside,
And with a sense of loveliness
Enjoy the contentment of giving pleasure.
As you celebrate this first year of marriage
We would like to wish you many years
Of wise and enduring love.
With a song in your heart each day as you
Replenish the shelves of your heart with love.
We know that your love will live far beyond your dreams,
And your pleasure in your new found life
Will be cherished throughout both your lives.
Happy First Anniversary!
