Beneath Star Swept Sky

Beneath star swept sky, My darling and I Held hands in the breeze of the night We were still in our teens Dreams played out hope's scenes And we held to the future so bright Love pulled like a rope Then I said, like a dope "You are like a Greek god to me!" He sighed in my ear "No way my sweet dear! In Jesus, my God is my hope!" His faith was so deep In God's grace was steeped And his faith brought my heart such great joy A vow and a ring, a hallowed thing And a King Who would always us keep The babies came 'long Into our blessed song And the years turned to decades So fast But my hearts in a whirl As it was as a girl In Grandpa's sweet arms Gram' belongs Our stories been told Though young, we're quite old My precious sweet boy and his bride As we stand 'neath the stars with the hope that is ours In memories steeped side by side

Thank you Valsa, you're so precious <3 I pray we have many more years together as well. We've been married almost 45 years, and were married in our teens, I love him so much. It's not all been roses, there were many thorns in our lives together. Our early dreams didn't take in the hard times...but we've faced them together. Thank you so much for stopping by and for leaving your sweet comments, I so appreciate them and you <3

Thank you so much Vijay, your words are so uplifting and encouraging. I just stopped over and read your poem, and it gave me heart. You are always so kind and it matters so very much in this world! Thank you for your sweet comment on my poem. My husband and I have a long, long memory together, but it feels strange to me it has really been as many years as it has been. Time has wings...it flies too quickly. From dreams to long memories!

Thank you so much Gina, we just celebrated our 45th Christmas together and we will be married 45 years next summer. Our first Christmas we had no gift for each other except acts of kindness. Mine was to wash his little sportscar, and his was washing the laundry, which was so hard. We washed our clothes by hand and hung them on the line to dry! It was an awesome gift to me. Many years of memories! Thank you for stopping by with your sweet uplifting words <3 Happy new year Gina! <3
