Wishing Love

Like the orange flame on a burning candle, 
like a little kitten's sweet purr,
may the sweet scent of your unperishing love, 
remain in your home forever.

The future can't be seen,
though we wish it could,
but may you hold each other's hands
through life's wild wood,

The sun shines on,
as does the moon,
may your love be like them,
forever a boon.
