is a circle of love
that the two of us share
sent from heaven above
A symbol so bold
from beginning to end
two hearts make a whole
for forty years it's been
Promises were made
that long ago day
in our hearts were laid
forever to stay
We've walked in sunshine
held hands in the rain
our eyes weren't blind
to heartache and pain
We've laughed and cried
and shed joyful tears
we've held on to pride
through forty blessed years
A marriage is for two
we've never walked alone
with a love so true
two hearts made a home
One thing I do know
our marriage is real
a tiny seed did grow
when God placed the golden seal

Beautiful Susie.... I never realized how precious that marriage and LOVE is --until I met George. My first marriage was a mess --to put it mildly... Congrats on 40 years. We will celebrate 10 yrs. on June 23....

Thank you both so much for the nice comments. It seems longer than forty years, but time slips by before we know it. Susie
ReplyDeleteWOW! That is so beautiful and such a wonderful tribute to your marriage and Gods love and as you so well put in your poem His golden seal.

What a special poem Susie, it is so beautiful and loving. Congratulations on 40 years! Tony and I just had our 22nd. So often today, we hear people only making jokes about marriage or speak about it in a negative way. You really captured that tender feeling of being a true partner and best friend, and what it means to share life together! The poem was so beautiful. I hope you have a lovely weekend ahead! Delisa ;)
ReplyDeleteThanks for the comment, The Grand Ole Opry was a fantastic place to visit, knowing all the great country stars had stood on the same stage we were standing,

Thank you Beth, Delisa, and Yvonne for your nice comments. @Beth, 70 years is very rare. Not many people have that, I hope they ce lebrate even more years together.
ReplyDeleteDelisa congratulations on your 22nd. I don't like it either when people joke about it. Marriage is suppose to be a beautiful thing.
Yvonne, I bet you felt like you were living a dream. Susie
How wonderful! And, a beautiful poem to celebrate it.
