Marriage Poems

A Marriage Blessing

As you enter into the little world,
that you promised to make brighter for each other,
may He who harnesses the waves
and hanges the sun out in the sky
and puts the song in the birds
especially bless you
and make your marriage a good and happy one!

Love is indeed "a many splendored thing!"
When it is given and returned,
it enriches both the Lover an the Beloved.
And as long as two people love each other,
nothing in this world is too difficult or too impossible
for wanting to do something for the one you love
takes all the burden out of it
and roughest way becomes smooth
when you can travel it hand in hand

~ Helen Steiner Rice
