Life has taught you much,
So if you tell me
That you wish to take
This man, Warren, for your husband,
I must respect your wish.
Perhaps you feel that
Neither John nor I
Appreciate or love you––
At times we feel much
And say nothing,
At times we gesture
but you do not see.
On this, your Wedding Day,
I wish you
The best that mortals hope for
But only God can give––
Abiding peace,
The comfort of a home,
Many friends,
And a long
And happy life.
