Sandra and Bill, June 2017 - Wed 59 Years


A Love to Last a Lifetime 


This June, sixty years wed;
     amazed, how can that be,
we, so long ago, said,
     "I do" to each faithfully?

Three new lives we bore
     and raised; they in turn,
with spouses, gave five more... 
     more love to have, return.

Hearts joined on Valentines Day...
     "Thank you, God," we pray.
