Twenty Seven

There was I brought into this world
December 27 nineteen fifty three
that is my birthday every year
celebrating this annually always to be

When in 1981 I got married to Jean
being her husband aged twenty seven
that was such a happy occasion
sadly she left quickly for heaven

I got married again in 1990
to Christine my love to this day
27 April was that special date
2015 celebrate our silver anniversary

As a lover of the holy scriptures
twenty seven is also my fav psalm
telling me God is my salvation
safe and secure in Him I am

So this number has shown itself
to be in my life so very often
making it really so very special 
working with me a real true blend

(the number twenty seven has proved itself so very special in my life so this is written with that in mind.
To explain verse 2 that Jean my first wife died in 1982 believing in Jesus so flying off to heaven)
