On this very date Dec 23rd, the eve of Christmas Eve, I
remember being spoon feed the words “for better, for worse, for richer, for poorer,
in sickness and in health…”. and I repeated the words but did not truly grasp their meaning.
It has been fifty years, fifty
years of better, fifty years of richer, and fifty years of health. I am humbled by the thought of being so
blessed.
Thank you Miss Mary for all your patience, perseverance and
pleasing personality. You have
been the glue that held us together, my North Star that kept me on course.
What the future holds…I do not know…but no matter what.
Miss Mary, from this day forward I do promise to love you
and honor you all the days of my life.
Thank you…Thank You Lord for putting Miss Mary in my life.
Thank you for such a wonderful blessing.
Dear Lord, Jesus
It is you I thank for this marvelous life
It is you I thank for a wonderful wife
It is you I thank for all the years
Filled with joy and very few tears
And on this date I thank my mate
For she has made the journey great
Now I can see when looking back
You're the one that kept us on track
There is no way I can repay
For the blessings you've sent my way
So on this day I do pray
You hear this “Thank You” that I say
Amen.
