36 Years

36 Years When the facts and figures did not add up When the bank account was empty, and also the cup When I was tired, weary, and worn, feeling all washed up From Illinois to Wisconsin, from Mississippi to California You have been there for me for 36 long years You have stood by me through all the pain and the tears You were always praying and helping me to draw near You helped to carry our heavy loads in the midst of fear In sickness; in health; for better; for worse; you’re still here In dedication and devotion, you remain with an open ear In confusion and frustration, you help me see more clearly In times when doors were shut in my face, you remained so dear So here we are, ready and willing, to face another day Here we stand together, to walk with God the usual way Here and now, again I say, I love you still, and I pray By your side and in your heart, is where I want to stay Cj06172008 P.Soup.
