On Marriage Dedciated To Terry and Dawn Toliver

To love unselfishly is not an easy task,
It teaches us to form a bond of hope and helps a relationship to last.
On this special day I wish you all the joy that true love can bring,
Growing in a God fearing love that never ends.
Know that the essence of love is not what you think, do , or can provide,
But it's how much you give releasing all the love inside.
Know that to love means giving up money and energy for the benefit of someone else,
It's when you concentrate on another and forget about yourself.
Hard times will follow bringing pain with tears,
But when you lean on each other and have faith in God you learn to conquer your fears.
Stay strong in the Lord for He shall see you through,
Bringing out this love that feels to good to be true.
I pray God has sent you both to one another making love your greatest aim,
Forming a love so bold and strong that's worth more than material things.
May God continue to bless you both in these years to come,
Because in my heart you both are the lucky ones.
