Thirty-Five
Thirty-five years ago
before we were old enough
to vote or take a drink
we took a vow to forever link
Our lives together
*
Such a monumental pledge it was
Yet we knew it was the thing to do
Our love was strong
Our life together would be long
We knew it in our hearts
*
We plunged forward in joyful bliss
With hopes and dreams abounding
Soon challenged by life’s realities
We strove to overcome our frailties
And we did
*
And who in this perilous age
Would have thought
Or dared to dream our vow
Would last ‘til now
Our 35th anniversary
*
So here’s to us, my love
Together we have persevered
And conquered each and every fear
And as we embark upon another year
May our love last forever
