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.)

Congratulations, a special anniversary indeed. My wife and I had our Silver Anniversary last year. It feels like we met yesterday but on the other hand it feels like we have been together forever. Thanks for sharing your good fortune with us. Blessings Rick.
