Thirty-Six Years Together
by Barbara Philbrook
Thirty six years together
that's what there's been,
and Darling I'd love
there to be thirty six again.
Since that day we said
"I Do",
I have never regretted
being with you.
We've had our children
and seen them each wed,
and not one moment of our
life do I dread.
I have had times of worry
and a tear or two,
but it was worth it all
to spend my life with you.
We've memories of things
that make us smile,
and a sigh or two, of
that there's no denial.
But even if I could
relive my entire life,
I'd choose to do so as
your wife.
May the time God gives us
each to remain,
be lived out together in
Jesus' name.
May we continue to serve
the Lord each and every day,
as we walk together along
life's highway.
May our objective be to
do God's will,
and to continue to praise
Him even when the walk is uphill.
May everything we do be
it together or apart,
be done with love for the
other in our heart.
May our children be
witnesses of our undivided love,
and know that it
originated with God above.
May the influence we have
on their lives,
reflect in each of them
their husbands and wives.
May all we've done point
them to God above,
and may they each
recognize and accept His love.
Thirty six years together
is just the start,
we've been offered an
eternity never again to be apart.
Happy Anniversary Dear!
