Our Marriage Book

For over thirty years now We have penned this marriage book A mystery the direction Each single chapter took With our share of laughter In bits of comedy Spilling tears upon the page But not in tragedy Chapter one was started On the day that we first met Destiny? After thirty years, I'm still thinking yes Where it matters we fit each other Like a well worn glove To each other bound together With the tightest threads of love In both chapters two and three We got to know each other well Before we decided we no longer needed To be by ourselves So we bought some extra paper Along with extra pens In hopes that we could one day Write a family in In the year of chapter four We did that with our first child Stock of blonde haired curls With a touch of heavens smile In the middle of chapter six We added number two With the cry of pure perfection If I may tell the truth All of the chapters following Have been quite the read A national best seller To say the very least And it could not have been done If it weren't for her and me Taking the time to write this book Of our lives destiny To this day my co-author I'm still standing with That beautiful girl I still love That thirty years ago I first kissed And whatever writings lay ahead I'm sure those final chapters will be The very best that we have written My co-author and me
