In 2023 we celebrate 50 years of marriage!
Enter the winter of our life as one
The months and years have rushed on by
Together we’ve endured what life has dealt
Our true love’s the reason why
We both were sweet 16 when introduced
We waved hello across the room
Was one year later till we met again
Wasn’t long before love bloomed
When reminiscing through our life
there’s so much that we hold dear
Regret is not a word that we would use
despite all the tears ...
Our vows were said when we were just 18
We pledged a love to last the years
Such declaration gave us confidence
Helped mitigate our fears
Our firstborn son came after nineteen months
Our second son just eighteen more
Now in their forties with wives of their own
Ladies whom we so adore
When reminiscing through our life
there’s so much that we hold dear
Regret is not a word that we would use
despite all the tears …
And so we live to love another day
You smile at me and take my hand
Assured that as we face life’s obstacles
together we will stand
Just for a moment, I go back in time
Freshness of youth as memories soar
If I were asked to do it all again
I would wish to love you more …
