What is this thing called love that we are so mindful of
That causes us to seek and seek until we find that one
Special one we vow to love, honor and cherish our whole
Life through.
For love, we will go through the fire and the rain.
It is a feeling that is hard to explain.
Love is that language between two people that only their
Hearts can understand.
When we find someone who hears and understands, we know
With all certainty that we have found a love that will never change.
Today, tomorrow and forevermore, it will always be the same.
That is when we know we have found a love that was meant to be.
We know love is meant to be when two hearts unite for eternity.
As if sharing their love was destiny.
Love is a dream they alone can see.
It does not come in any color or shade,
It is wondrously and mysteriously made.
Love is something we cannot surmise.
It takes us by surprise.
With a look, a touch or a voice,
The heart makes its own choice.
Lovers simply react.
Once they fall, there is no turning back.
Love holds them in an enticing trance.
Such is romance.
The moment the heart is stolen,
Love becomes golden
Filled with magical nights
And candlelight
Until, alas, the two soon confess love unrequited
And their hearts are united,
Creating a bond that was meant to be
Throughout eternity.
To all the married couples out there, newly married or married for how ever many years,
I celebrate you.
Today, we celebrate your love.
May God bless your union with his sweet peace.
May the vows you have professed one to another
Be your anchor and your strength. May your love
towards one another always be settled in the heavens above
and in the earth below. May you always be in love.
