Our Ten Year Anniversay

December 16th, 2010, is an important day for our family.  Don and I will have been married for ten years.  I have penned a poem for the occasion and just wanted to share with you.

Ten years of marriage,

A tale of two souls,

Time to look back,

At the memories we hold.

Moments of great joy,

The birth of two sons,

Times of great sadness,

In this race we’ve run.

Love that has grown,

With each passing day,

Much closer together,

Through the battles and fray.

One cannot measure,

The blessings God planned,

From before time began,

We were held in his hand.

Ten years is short,

In the grand scheme of things,

We look forward to the future,

And the wonders it brings.

Yet, I can tell you,

We’ve treasured each year,

This God given love,

We will always hold dear.

So thank you my husband,

For being my rock,

My anchor, my love,

When the hard times do knock.

Thank you my God,

For preparing the way,

For drawing us closer,

Together each day.

For God gets the glory,

For all He has made,

A cord of three strands,

An eternal love braid.

A person standing alone can be attacked and defeated, but two can stand back to back and conquer.  Three are even better, for a triple braided cord is not easily broken. (Ephesians 4:12)
