Through the universe our souls would travel, Trying love’s mysteries to unravel. A miracle of Love would come to be. When I first saw you and you first saw me. In you I saw hope, A lovely rainbow, You saw a man that could be your hero. In just six months we became man and wife. We knew we’d have an adventurous life. We’ve learned many lessons over these years, We’ve shared all emotions, laughter, and tears. The promises we made we’ll not severe, Through sickness and health, we’ve stuck together. It’s not just a saying, two become one, It’s happened to us, and God’s still not done.

This saga of a beautiful life is so inspiring to every married couple.... you and Sara, I am sure are a blessed pair., sticking together in sickness and sorrow. We have been together for the last 44 years. I too can give somewhat of a similar testimony of love. May God grant you many more fruitful years ahead, dear Sara and Bill . Lovely sonnet....

Yes, God is still working on all of humanity, but most don't listen to His voice. Great that your marriage has survived that long in this world's situation. Thanks for sharing and for your visit to my page. Sara..My husband and I will celebrate 61 if we live a few more months. My parents celebrated 76 years and 9 months. They did not quite make it to the 77th.

"It’s not just a saying, two become one, It’s happened to us, and God’s still not done. " One who can say this with sincerity and satisfaction is hugely lucky. May God grant you the same satisfaction as years roll by. Wish you both a Happy Anniversary dear Bill and Sara.

Wonderful! Wonderful! ... And you are on the money, man: God is still not done; and neither are you two. Go for it! Congrats, and here's to # 50... and #75... A thought: Isn't it amazing that you two can have all these anniversaries when your wife is only 39 years old?!

My dearest hubby--thank you for penning such a beautiful sonnet that captures the significant parts of our love and marriage. We meant those vows when we said them 40 years ago. Love has prevailed even when we struggled. You're right, God's not done with us yet. I love you throughout eternity, your Rainbow Sara
