To Linda and Richard

Where do all the hours go
How quickly they slip by
Ever moving, passing on
Like drifting clouds across the sky.

Could some pass my unnoticed?
Seems only yesterday
We saw you just a little girl
Happy, carefree, gay.

Skipping down life's highway
Picking summer flowers
Then school & books, then plans & hopes
Began to fill your hours.

And as you went along your path
There was a little boy too
Traveling down his path of life
With plans and hopes like you.

And now you've found each other
Your new life has begun
Your paths have joined together
And blended into one!

Your eyes are fastened to the stars
Beheld in fascination
Your thoughts behold tomorrow
With sweet anticipation!

Beginnings are so beautiful
Unmarred, untouched, new
Like rising dawn unfolding
Cleansed by early dew.

No word has yet been spoken
The music's still unheard
Dreams lay waiting to come true
Still silent - undisturbed.

Seeds of kindness, warmth & love
Are still as yet, unsown
The laughter and the joys ahead
Are still to you - unknown.

Life's beauty waits to be revealed
In gorgeous colors - rare
Each golden hour lays dormant
For you to fill and share.

You're standing on your threshold
And only you will see
Just what the future holds for you
Because you hold the key.

May you turn the sweetest music on
And may the words you say
Spread warmth and love and kindness
Through every passing day.

The beauty that surrounds you
Together you'll discover
The laughter and the joys
May you share with one another.

The dawn of life is beautiful
The sunset may be too
It depends upon what lies between
And that is up to you!

For though hours are quick in passing
None go unnoticed though
They're ever molding, ever weaving
Life's pattern as they go.

May God be with you always
May your choicest dreams come true
May the golden hours you fill through life
Build happiness for you!
