The Marriage Marathon

Many years ago when we were all young,                          we dated looking for a mate.                                          Two weeks after high school,                                          my best girlfriend was getting married.                            She wore a beautiful white satin wedding dress,                I was in her wedding in a pretty pink lace dress.                The next year I was in a beautiful white lace dress,        she was in my wedding in a pretty pink dress.                  Then came a fall wedding and I was wearing peach,          the bride once again was in a beautiful white satin dress.  I have been to more weddings than I can count,              many pretty dresses now hang in the closet.                    Each couple could not make it over the finish line,when things got rough~they just quit.                              Here we are with another anniversary on the way,            it has been a marathon race to the end.                          We will not quit,                                                            we will finish to the end or to death us do part.     Date Written: 6/26/2022
