Gifts That Stay

How fortune made us meet we cannot say, but soon two pairs of feet will walk the way. We mirror each to each the lessons needed to learn what love may teach if only heeded. We give as best we can, this wedding day, a woman and a man as gifts that stay. From The Wheel of Yes (1995) by Alan Harris
