The Angel of the morning gently touches my shoulder;
Wrapped in the loving circle of your arms
Together we wake to greet the new day.
Oh! Were all life's surprises so simply blessed
For your strength is my strength, my courage is yours
Side by side in sharing the happy and sad
Individual burdens lighter when carried by two.
Across distance and time we drew each to the other
Now long ago yet remaining always close
Single becoming pair becoming one
...past, present, and future...
Such silken Kismet uniting us, husband and wife
Our hands joined in gratitude
For the precious gift dear God has bestowed.
The Angel of the morning gently touches my shoulder;
Wrapped in the loving circle of your arms
Together we wake to greet the new day.
