The Same Woman

I know that it was not an easy feat, but with God's help,                                                                                                                                  I really meant it back in '72 when I said, "I do" to the
question of, "Until death do us part?".  On the job                                                                                                back in 1996 when I was still a young man, after
work one day, a few of us fellows started talking about                                                                                          our wives and how long we had been married.  When
it came my turn to speak of our marital tenure, there                                                                                         was a bit of a stir if not down right, 'I can't believe it so'.
To the fellows I said, "My wife and I have been married                                                                                     for 25 years".  One of the guys replied, "To the same woman?"
