What does it take to stay married for forty-seven years? It takes commitment and love to make a marriage work. None of us are saints to live with in a relationship. It does not take long for the honeymoon to wear off and the lifetime reality show to start! Adjusting to one another is not an easy task. There are many things that can derail a marriage. But I believe it is the ongoing commitment that makes it last. For some the vow of commitment is, ” for as long as we love each other.” For me it is, “for as long as we both shall live, we will love each other!”
Still Loving You
After all these years
47 to be exact
We are the odd ones
Still together all intact
Many ups and downs
Through thick and thin
And two little boys
With big wide grins
There were times
We could have bailed
But our commitment is solid
Our love did not fail
Now looking back
On all these years
With six beautiful grands
That we love to cheer
For better and for worse
We stayed by those vows
Love includes both
Not one or the other
I love you
