I
want to be everything
you
want me to be;
I
want to instill in your heart
a
gentle love,
inseparable
and fulfilling. . . .
I
want to be by your side,
forever
strong and caring. . . .
And
when we will have grown older,
I
hope your eyes sparkle as they do now,
and
the warmth of your affectionate smile
stirs
my heart as deeply. . . .
And, whatever the future
brings,
I hope this heartfelt love
will be graced by God,
strengthened and sustained,
in this journey toward
eternal victory.
