It was in the year of 2005, <br />In the autumn-kissed month of September; <br />Broken roads met for a man and woman <br />In a way they will always remember. <br /> <br />It was Monday, plain old Monday, <br />Just another day of the week: <br />The twenty-sixth day of the month, <br />A day not particularly unique. <br /> <br />It was at 7PM on that Monday night <br />On a blind date arranged by friends, <br />At a little house on South Gordon Drive <br />That a miracle of love began. <br /> <br />Yes, it was a miracle, not a coincidence <br />For they knew God arranged it all; <br />Allowing their paths to cross with each other <br />At the time when golden leaves fall. <br /> <br />Two people met and two lives were changed <br />In a mysterious and unusual way; <br />For Scotty and Dreama would be married <br />In the space of just forty days. <br /> <br />It was Saturday, November the fifth, <br />Somewhere around four o’clock, <br />Before the minister, family and friends, <br />Scotty and Dreama tied the knot. <br /> <br />Just forty days since they found each other, <br />Forty days since they learned to love. <br />A short span of time lived on earth <br />But long planned by God above. <br /> <br />Congratulations to you are now in order! <br />And our wish for you both sincere, <br />May your lives be filled with the wonder <br />You have found in this special year! <br /> <br />May the fire of love you both discovered <br />Shine bright as the Sun’s golden rays; <br />May you enjoy the warmth of love forever <br />As you did in just forty days.<br /><br />Loyd C.
