CATHERINE'S UNIQUE WEDDINGS
SELECTED POEMS FOR YOUR USE AND ENJOYMENT
In loving memory of my Mother
September 22, 1936 -February 3, 2005
My father sent this poem to my mother in 1954. He was in the Army stationed in Korea on a 2 year tour. She kept this poem tucked away in her wallet all of her life. They were married 50 years.
When God created heaven above he created you for me to love
He picked you out of all the rest because he knew I loved you best.
Once there was a heart good and true but now it's gone from me to you
Take care of it as I have done , for you have two and I have none.
Your loving husband,
John
LOVE IS A VERY SPLENDER THING
From This Day Forward
From this day forward, let us laugh together, and plan together,
let us find our favorite places, and go together...
Let us enjoy the sunshine, and the rain,
being alone together, and in crowds together...
From this day forward, together,
Let us love!
True Love
Author Unknown
True love is a sacred flame
That burns eternally,
And none can dim its special glow
Or change its destiny.
True love speaks in tender tones
And hears with gentle ear,
True love gives with open heart
And true love conquers fear.
True love makes no harsh demands
It neither rules nor binds,
And true love holds with gentle hands
The hearts that it entwines.
These I Can Promise
Author Unknown
I cannot promise you a life of sunshine;
I cannot promise riches, wealth, or gold;
I cannot promise you an easy pathway
That leads away from change or growing old.
But I can promise all my heart's devotion;
A smile to chase away your tears of sorrow;
A love that's ever true and ever growing;
A hand to hold in yours through each tomorrow.
This Day I Married My Best Friend
Author Unknown
This day I married my best friend
the one I laugh with as we share life's wondrous zest,
as we find new enjoyments and experience all that's best.
he one I live for because the world seems brighter
as our happy times are better and our burdens feel much lighter.the one I love with every fiber of my soul.
We used to feel vaguely incomplete, now together we are whole.
