On Your Wedding Day

As you say your vows today,
know that I am praying for you from far away.

I pray for your life to be filled with love,
I pray for God to bless you richly from above.

I pray you have a happy life,
these prayers are also for your new wife.

I pray the two of you find joy and hope,
I pray you help one another cope.

May your lives be blessed with unending laughter,
I pray you both forsake all who come after.

Go forth into the world protecting one another,
greatly cherish each other.

Walk life's road hand in hand,
honor that little golden band.

I pray you both can put the past away,
I pray you both love more and more each day.

Build a life based on faith and trust,
leaving behind what you must.

On your wedding day,
I send these simple prayers your way.
