A Hand In Marriage

To have and to hold, a price too high to pay,
To cherish and love, a burden too heavy to lift.
To give and to take, a promise too hard to keep,
To trust and forgive, a weight too much to hold.

To know and to learn, a price to be paid,
To share and show, a load to be lifted.
To receive and bless, a covenant to be kept,
To pray and keep, a gift to be upheld.
