It is still possible to have a long marriage. It takes love, friendship and effort

Finding You ( to my wife Barbara, just because) by Franklin Price 6/8/2018 Finding you has been the best thing That ever happened in my life Beginning when I met you Better since you've been my wife We both were less than happy Was not hard to understand Marriage was a disappointment Before my ring was on your hand Won't say it's all been easy Life's just not to be that way I've never had one real regret Since you said yes that day We've worked through every obstacle Together we would persevere Raised a daughter to be proud of She turns fifty this fine year She has born two fine daughters We know both of them are grand They're thriving in this world of ours That's not too hard to understand We have been empty nesters For more than just awhile Every day when I awake with you I look and have to smile I pray its far from over Many years before the end No man could have a better wife Or any better friend No it's not our anniversary Or any other special day Just woke up there beside you And thought there's something I should say Finding you is still the best thing That's ever happened in my life Every day I thank the good Lord For the years you've been my wife
