He met her on a summer’s day
While he walked his path and she walked her own
Each had a different world and way
Each life in a different way had grown
As the days went by they had some fun
Shared their pasts, their fears, their hopes and dreams
They talked of everything under the sun
Of how it is and how it seems
Then one day they both realised
To each the other had become family
They would never see another when they closed their eyes
So he asked her ‘Will you marry me?’
The answer was easy, the act was not
Their decision in fact a storm ignited
But they were strong, for their love they fought
And in the end, they were united
Over time they built a family, a home
The years showed times both hard and grand
On paths of flowers, sometimes of stone
They have walked together, hand-in-hand
Their lands unique, different families too
Through them were brought together as one
And they had as with life they grew
Two wonderful children, a daughter and a son
Since they came together, twenty-five years
They have walked and loved and lived this story
Time brought a lot of laughs and a few tears
But their love conquered all in its own glory
So we invite you to come and share with us
To see why life was made by God above
On this Earth where all things must turn to dust
A living proof of eternal love
