Poem to be read by 
"LOVE"
Love is a friendship that has caught fire, 
It is quiet understanding mutual confidence, sharing and forgiving. 
It is loyalty through good and bad 
It settles for less than perfection and makes allowances for human weakness 
Love is content with the present 
It hopes for the future and it doesn’t brood over the past 
It’s the day-in and day-out chronicle of problems, compromises, small disappointments, big victories, and working toward common goals. 
If you have love in your life, it can make up for a great many things that you lack 
If you don’t have it, no matter what else there is it is not enough 
So search for it hold on to it and share it….

For hearing my thoughts, understanding my dreams,

And being my best friend, for filling my life with music 
And loving me without end.

As our marriage brings new meaning to love 
So our love brings new meaning to life

Love knows no limit to it’s endurance No end to its trust 
Love stand still when all else has fallen.
