A
father and a mother
A
husband and a wife
One
day made a commitment
That
commitment altered life
They
chose that day to marry
To
create a family
They
didn't know the future
But
the results are plain to see
Their
lives were never easy
No
one ever cleared the way
The
burdens drawn from childhood
Live
with them every day
In
the face of every challenge
The
will always find a way
In
the face of disappointment
They
always hold on anyway
They
live as contribution
Within
the world community
They
always make a difference
Embrace
responsibility
Their
partnership was formed in love
Love
transforms life you see
Their
love produced their children
Their
children bound inseparably
Their
family is admired
Wherever
it is known
Their
family is resilient
As
the test of time has shown
They
may have disagreements
They
may have their disputes
They
may have loud discussions
With
issues that they may refute
