The young couple was engaged to be married…and though they hadn’t set a date…their families came together to rejoice and to celebrate.
And celebrate they did with food and wine and song…toasts were made to the couple…that their life be happy, successful and long.
That their life be one of hopes and dreams fulfilled…of wonder and surprise…their mothers were so happy…tears fell from their eyes.
Their fathers were busy shaking hands and doing what fathers do…but…if you took the time to notice…their were tears in their eyes too.
As I watched the celebration…watched the festivities unfold that day…
If I was to give them some advice…this is what I’d say.
As you spend your life together…whatever happens…come what may…before you close your eyes each night…may you wish for one more day.
One more day to love…to laugh…to count the stars up in the sky…one more day to make mistakes…to apologize…to cry.
One more day to face the world united…to endure the fairest and foulest weather…one more day of life…one more day to be together.
It’s such a wonderful feeling when you open your eyes once the night is through…to look at one another and know another wish came true.
This would be advice…yes…this is what I’d say…
I’d wish you a wonderful life together…filled with a multitude of one more days.
For all we really have are moments together…moments when we laugh and love and play…
And the best any of us can hope for…is one more moment…one more day.
