Barbara Ann
Barbara Ann
By Curtis Johnson
Between children and church, work and play, we’ve had a good life
At this season in our lives, our work is measured; not a push and rush
Relationship with God and between the two of us, are by far our greatest quest
Before “you”, there was barely a “me” ; with you I am fulfilled, as we climb our hills.
At the beginning, we thought that we were destined to travel together around the world,
Rescuing and feeding the hungry; helping to save the lost; praying for the sick to be healed.
At some point, however, we had children of our own, and stuck to our mission closer to home.
And honey, I must say that it is both my pride and privilege to be growing old with you.
Never to be separated but by death, is the phrase that must always describe our relationship
Nothing pleases me more than being at one with you, and having our marital covenant still in tack.
