I am looking for a Patience Strong poem that starts - I give you to the man you love upon your wedding day. No tear of mine must mar your joy, I send you on your way. It's for my daughters wedding next April.. My mother gave me this poem on my wedding day.

Olwen, I think the words are as follows "I give you to the man you love upon your wedding day. No tear of mine can mar your joy; I send you on your way. Grateful for the golden years when you belonged to me, Treasuring within my heart each precious memory. I'm losing you, my dear, but I am more than glad to know That you have found your love, as I found mine long, long ago. So goodbye my little girl; God keep you and God bless, Granting you life's sweetest blessings: health and happiness." I am a minister (formerly Church of Scotland and now living in Sweden) and these words were used at a wedding I conducted several years ago. The bride's mum had cut them out of a women's magazine in the 1940s.
