Our paths converged and softly touched
Our hearts moved close in greeting
It was a time to sample change
It was a time for meeting.

An accident of chance became
Our lasting gift that day
Some paths may cross but do not always
Join in such a way.

I'm glad you've shared your life with me
And made this moment prime
The future will preserve the warmth
That fills this precious time.

The present is a prize
That you have helped to make complete
I'm glad that fate arranged a way
For you and me to meet.
