 Marriage is a promise
That two hearts gladly make
A promise to be tender
To help, to give to take
A marriage is a promise
To be kind and understanding
To be thoughtful and considerate
Fair and understanding
A marriage is a promise
To share one life together
A love- filled promise meant to be kept lovingly forever.
