My Dear [Name]:

There are things in life that are inevitable; [I am/we are] powerless to control them. The Sun will
rise and set, the tide will come in and go out, the seasons will change, the birds will fly South for
the winter and return in the spring, and the caterpiller will [transform/morph] itself into a
[beautiful/handsome] butterfly. Somehow, I feel reassured by this because many other things in
life are so transient - so momentary.

[Name], from the moment we met, I knew that our friendship would [develop/turn] into
something lasting and precious, just as I am sure that the caterpiller will one day become a
[beautiful/handsome] butterfly.

Dearest, I believe that our love is [blessed/ordained] by God. It is a union of two spirits destined
for everlasting happiness. Thus, you have truly become the star of my life that brings me light in
this dark world, and warmth when I need it. You offer me the promise of renewal, the joy of
living, the peace of mind that comes from sharing and caring, and that shoulder to lean on in
times of stress. You are my "Swallow from Capistrano" - my precious butterfly, and I will
cherish you and love you forever.
