On this planet where crying abounds <br />I can? t wish you joy and no sorrow, <br />But I can wish you hope as you pass through those times <br />That you wake to a brighter tomorrow. <br /> <br />On this planet where tides always flow <br />I can? t wish them never against you, <br />But I can wish you strength as you pass through each storm <br />And God? s tender mercy to help you. <br /> <br />I wish for you love and delight and great kindness, <br />And enough wealth to ease others? needs, <br />I wish you some songs - and also some silence <br />- God? s spirit to guide where He leads. <br /> <br />So, stand on the promises of God your Saviour, <br />Fall on His mercy and grace, <br />Sing with joy, with laughter and merriment, <br />Live as those who know this world is not their resting place. <br /> <br />Prosperity and happiness in your life together, <br />Soft answers that turn away wrath, <br />A future that? s shaped by positive values <br />And God? s richest blessing now on your both!<br /><br />jessica roberts<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/a-toast-to-the-bride-and-groom/
