Example
Fifty Years joined as one. Most were hard but somehow fun.
Weathered years of the Children's Curse took a mighty tole upon your purse.
Always too much left to do. Sleep seldom came when it was due.
But perseverance was your code. Your prize together growing old.
A true example for each of us. An example that even I can trust.
For by his hand the path you trod was paved with love from up above.
And although unlikely what I now wish for is that God will give you fifty more.....
