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
