Celebrating 50 years

My dear, ’twas fifty years ago when we first met
on a trip to Stratford that I'll never forget.
When as a sweet girl of fourteen you caught my eye,
and love first began its great work in this old guy.

Today we dined together and were reminiscing
and we praised God for each years' wonderful blessing.
Then we sat by the canal in the bright moonlight
holding hands like two lovers sitting in God's sight.

Time has passed by and how quickly the years have flown,
and God has blessed us greatly as our love has grown.
I am so glad that I have married you my dear
and shared the experiences of each passing year.
