TO MY BEST BELOVED

Fifty years ago, one happy day,
Hand in hand, we started life together.
Side by side we've traveled all the way,
'Neath sunny skies, sometimes in stormy weather.

Light on the clouds can blend a gorgeous sunset;
So clouds must come to make our joys complete.
'Tis sharing them that ever draws us closer
And makes our sunset days so rich and sweet.

So for each golden day we've walked together,
The joys, the trials that were ours to share
That made our love throughout the years grow stronger,
With gratitude to God, I breathe a prayer.
