| 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. |
| Now you will feel no rain, for each of you will be shelter for the other. Now you will feel no cold, for each of you will be warmth to the other. Now there is no more loneliness, for each of you will be companion to the other. Now you are two persons, but there is only one life before you. Go now to your dwelling to enter into the days of your life together. And may your days be good, and long upon the earth. |
