"In the beginning, love was created and it was good.
\n\tYet, as it is with all things, love is a choice.
\n\tIn the now, a bond is created, and it is good.
\n\tYet, as it is with all things, a bond is a choice.
\n\tIn each tomorrow, the future will be created, and it can be good.
\n\tYet, as it is with all things, the future is a choice."<\/p>\n

\t"As the love of yesterday binds the present into a touch towards every tomorrow,
\n\tDo not vow to renew your choices on your first, your fifth, or your fiftieth anniversary,
\n\tRather, from this moment go forth vowing.
\n\tGo forth vowing to choose gently, celebrating life each day.
\n\tGo forth vowing to choose wisely, playing after every storm.
\n\tGo forth vowing to choose fervently, never giving up hope in things that matter.
\n\tThen, as it was in the beginning, and, as it is now,
\n\tYet, it will be in the future…
\n\tBlessed with choices, and good."
