Gordon Mcconnell Poet Rhyme

Our Pearl Has Arrived

Well, would you believe it? I can’t!
It’s all of 30 years ago we said I do
Now that date 27th April makes its mark
So much to look back on just us two

Many memories would fill all our years
Holidays galore indeed by land and air
So much happiness enjoyed so very true
But really our love has kept us a pair

I thank you, my love, for all the years
For loving me so deeply and without a pause
Keeping me on the straight and narrow all right
Forgiving me repeatedly despite my flaws

Thanks be to God for without his grace
This pearl would not have been our reach
In his providence working in our life
Teaching much about his love never to breach

(This is written to celebrate Christine and my 30th Pearl wedding anniversary today on 27th April.)
