Oh that time would wait a while
That music pause and hold
So we might hear with lasting joy
The moment's glad unfold

A thousand dreams of quiet hope
Are graven now in this day's mind
The pattern crafted all the years
Has come today it's truth to find

An evidence of private smile
And public promise made
For all to see and God to know
Though all the world would fade

Doctor Thomas, Katy Smith
Take courage on the path you tread
Though this day passes through and on
Recall again love
