THEY ARE TWO ANGELS, CREATED IN GOD’S MOLD.
THEY ARE MY TREASURE, MORE PRECIOUS THAN GOLD.
MY PILLAR OF STRENGTH THAT NEVER GROWS OLD.
THAT’S WHY I’M HERE … THEIR STORY MUST BE TOLD!
IN A WAR THAT WAS BITTER AND COLD,
MAN MET BEAUTY, A SIGHT TO BEHOLD.
IN LOVE AND MARRIED, TO HAVE AND TO HOLD…
“TILL DEATH DO US PART”, WAS WRITTEN IN BOLD!
WE’VE FINALLY REACHED THE MOMENT,
A DAY TO CELEBRATE …
A LOVE BETWEEN TWO PEOPLE, WHO WERE MEANT TO BE ONE.
NORA AND PURITO, SHARE A BOND THAT’S SO TRUE.
VOWS, FIFTY YEARS AGO, ARE NOW MADE ANEW.
MORE THAN SIX HUNDRED FULL MOONS AGO, THEY WERE WED TO EACH OTHER
AND MADE A PROMISE TO LOVE … TO LOVE NO OTHER.
AS I WALK ALONG THE BEATEN PATH
AND SAIL THE OCEAN OF LIFE,
I SEE SO MANY CHILDREN IN THEIR SUFFERING AND STRIFE.
IN THEIR FACES, PAIN OF WORDS UNSPOKEN,
INFLICTED BY THEIR FAMILIES … NOW BROKEN.
WHY DO SOME LOVE AFFAIRS END AND THE WORLD SEEM SO SAD?
BUT NOT THESE TWO, THESE TWO LOVERS, MY HEROES,
MY MOM & MY DAD!
AS I STAND BEFORE YOU AND MY FAMILY’S PEERS …
I’M ALL GROWN UP AND RID OF MY CHILDHOOD FEARS.
MY SOUL IS FILLED WITH JOY … MUST HOLD BACK THE TEARS,
AS GOD’S GRACE SURROUNDS THEM IN THEIR GOLDEN YEARS!
NORA AND PURITO, SHARE A BOND THAT’S SO TRUE.
VOWS, FIFTY YEARS AGO, ARE NOW MADE ANEW.
WHY DO LOVE AFFAIRS END AND THE WORLD SEEM SO SAD?
OH, NOT THESE TWO, NOT THESE LOVERS, THESE HEROES,
MY MOM & MY DAD!
WHY DO LOVE AFFAIRS END AND THE WORLD SEEM SO SAD?
MY MOM & MY DAD!
