    to make a dark day bright.
    It takes a mother’s kindness to
    forgive us when we err,
    To sympathize in trouble and to
    bow her head in prayer.
    It takes a mother’s wisdom
    to recognize our needs
    And to give us reassurance by
    her loving words and deeds.

W HAT I S M ARRİAGE ?

    It is sharing and caring,
    Giving and forgiving,
    Loving and being loved,
    Walking hand in hand,
    Talking heart to heart,
    Seeing through each other’s eyes,
    Laughing together,
    Weeping together,
    Praying together,
    And always trusting and believing
    And thanking God for each other …
    For love that is shared is a beautiful thing—
    It enriches the soul and makes the heart sing.

I DEALS A RE L İKE S TARS

    In this world of casual carelessness,
    it’s discouraging to try
    To keep our morals and standards and our ideals high.
    We are ridiculed and laughed at
    by the smart sophisticate,
    Who proclaims in brittle banter that
    such things are out of date …
    But no life is worth living unless it’s built on truth,
    And we lay our life’s foundation in
    the golden years of youth …
    So allow no one to stop you
    or hinder you from laying
    A firm and strong foundation made
    of faith and love and praying …
    And remember that ideals are like stars up in the sky,
    You can never really reach them,
    hanging in the heavens high,
    But like the mighty mariner who
    sailed the storm-tossed sea
    And used the stars to chart his course
    with skill and certainty,
    You, too, can chart your course in
    life with high ideals and love,
    For high ideals are like the stars
    that light the sky above,
    You cannot ever reach them,
    but lift your heart up high
    And your life will be as shining
    as the stars up in the sky.

T O M Y H USBAND

    In my eyes there lies no vision
    But the sight of your dear face.
    In my heart there is no feeling
    But the warmth of your embrace.
    In my mind there are no thoughts
    But the thoughts of you, my dear.
    In my soul no other longing
    But just to have you near.
    All my dreams were built around you
    And I’ve come to know it’s true,
    In my life there is no living
    That is not a part of you.

H EART T HROBS FOR THE M AN I M ARRİED

    Don’t think because I’m married
    that all romance is dead.
    Why, I’m as full of sentiment
    as the day that I was wed.
    My heart’s still doing flip-flops
    and beating double time.
    It’s full of many happy thoughts
    for a dear sweetheart of mine.
    And on this day of romance I send a loving dart
    From the little bow of Cupid
    to pierce my lover’s heart
    And believe me there’s no
    Valentine that carries love more true
    Than the one I send my sweetheart,
    who is the man I’m married to!

W HEN T WO P EOPLE M ARRY

    Your hearts are filled with
    happiness so great and overflowing
    You cannot comprehend it,
    for it’s far beyond all knowing
    How any heart could hold such
    joy or feel the fullness of
    The wonder and glory
    and the ecstasy of love.
    You wish that you could
    capture it and never let it go
    So you might walk forever
    in its magic, radiant glow,
    But love in all its ecstasy
    is such a fragile thing,
    Like gossamer in cloudless skies
    or a hummingbird’s small wing …
    But love that lasts forever must
    be made of something strong—
    The kind of strength that’s gathered
    when the heart can hear no song.
    When the sunshine of your wedding
    day runs into stormy weather,
    And hand in hand you brave the gale
    and climb steep hills together,
    And clinging to each other while
    the thunder rolls above,
    You seek divine protection in
    faith and hope and love …
    For days of wine and roses never
    make love’s dreams come true—
    It takes sacrifice and teardrops
    and problems shared by two
    To give true love its beauty,
    its grandeur and its fineness,
    And to mold an earthly ecstasy
    into heavenly divineness.

W İTH F AİTH İN E ACH O THER—AND F AİTH İN THE L ORD

    With faith in each other and faith in the Lord
    May your marriage be blessed
    with love’s priceless
