Poem written by my husband Bill on the occasion of our 23rd Wedding Anniversary...

‎23 on 23

Tomorrow just another day?
"Oh yes, of course!" is what you say.
But you'd be wrong you lump of clay.
...It's quite distinct in every way.

For three and twenty years ago

(I'm pretty sure there was no snow)

Two souls agreed to make a go

And Reverend Kirk said "Make it so."

We married at a church in haste.

(A big ta-doo was such a waste!)

The sermon kind of cut-and-paste.

The catered meal without much taste.

Oh yeah we changed and both got older.

Our hands and feet they got much colder.

We learned to lean on His great shoulder.

In Him with grace we got much bolder.

So now its been a long time past.

The years have by us gone so fast.

Many said we'd never last.

But through it all we have held fast.

I do not know how life would be.

Had you chosen to not agree

To become my wife for all to see.

Here's to us at 23.

Happy Anniversary Babe.
