On Our China Anniversary - January 17, 2016

On our China anniversary
Love goes on under the sun; 
From Paper to Crystal that has ended
Another new one has just begun.

Twenty years of living together
Is not a walk in the park; 
At times the days are sunny, 
Sometimes the clouds are dark.

But by God's loving hand
We've ventured into the rough sea; 
Able to climb the highest hill, 
Striving hard toward victory.

We've stood against all odds, 
Braving the wind of changes; 
We've remained firm and steadfast, 
Making all the right choices.

As long as we have each other, 
We do hope for the Silver's dawn; 
Praying not only for the Gold
But also for the dazzling Diamond.

The pages of the next chapter
Are willed by the Father's hand; 
A new episode shall be written
Till we reach the promised land.

Our love for one another
Shall achieve the higher degree; 
It will grow all the more
On our China anniversary.

What a lovely uplifting verse Bernard. Your lines prove you have to work at a relationship - we all have our highs and lows but are committed to each other for better or worse. We have celebrated our silver anniversary last year :-) hugs Jan xx
