Forty Years and Counting

Forty years ago, we said “I do” You pledged to me, and I pledged to you And in a fleeting moment’s span, our journey through life began. Our friendship over time has grown Despite the curved balls, life has thrown. God has His divine magic spun Uniting our souls into one. As we have grown closer to Him, Our love was kept from growing dim. His love for us makes ours strong Even at times when things go wrong. A better wife I could not find One so affable and kind. You have been patient with my faults When my ego itself exalts. As we start another year We can do so without fear. For the one who pilots our ship He never falters, nor does he slip. In this world engrossed in sin May His light shine from within. So, a soul forlorn and lost Will be rescued from life’s frost.
