On a Wedding Card

There is nothing like the special glow
That a man and woman come to know
When both deep in their hearts decide
Togetherness is groom and bride.

The date they choose to celebrate
With friends their brand new married state
Is an outward show of their new bond
As they step into a warm beyond.

So for you both, my dear sweet friends
Who see life through a lover's lens
May peace and joy, good health and fun
Keep your journey in the sun!

A wedding - be it filled with splendour
Is a magic moment to remember
But behind that dress and golden ring
Is a life that's shared – a precious thing.

Treat each other well, be kind
To the other's faults, be blind
Life's a challenge - as you know
But may you never lose love's glow!
