We Pledge Ever Fairer Matrimonial Bargains

Achievements not mine Grace to my rescue To ensure fortitude doesn’t decline But continues in every circumstance to give Christine and I the clue To promote humility first and foremost If we’re to get far Performing better, our abilities to shine the most In our heart, in our mind, in our car Reflecting upon measures we’d taken In tiny issues, in temperance issues Appreciating past wrongs were forgotten Dumped into history dustbins like dead tissues If we hope to turn a new page Praising small reconciliation steps Undertaken to boost and bolster our marriage Coercing our minds to veer away from potential missteps Likely to injure each other’s sensitivity When clumsiness rocks our marriage boat Shambling on domains bereft of the creativity Essential to dwelling not upon which crimson coat John dons or which moccasin shoes Christine’s feet sneak in When in the background lurk blues To kick her clean tin hoping to win An argument on how great hubby Looms on the home platform When Two Pine grounds grow shrubby To define a quaint landscape in our home Turf as we surf The forty first decade to consolidate humble gains God planted in our turf As we pledge to each other ever fairer matrimonial bargains.
