“THEY SAID IT WOULDN’T LAST”
They
said it wouldn’t last, but didn’t know our love.
They
said it wouldn’t last, but they didn’t know God’s plan from above.
God
worked in a wonderful way bringing us together through a friend.
He
created our love that would be special and without end.
They
said it wouldn’t last, our friends and kin of fifty years ago.
Today
they gather in His house to celebrate what you and I know.
A bond
started On that day when our eyes first met.
It is a
love story that started and continues yet.
Ten days
together was so short but our love grew and grew.
Separated
while you serving the red, white, and blue.
Could
our love last for an acquaintance so brief?
Would it
be short and the memory be one of grief?
It
seemed as a flash from heaven as a falling star burning so fast.
We were
separated and our love seemed to others not to last.
It was a
precious moment we spent in late July.
Our
separation seemed like an eternity as August crept by.
We
longed for each other until the second of September.
It
became our wedding day, what a day to remember.
Many
special moments of love have continued since those days.
Three
handsome boys God gave to us to raise.
A family
and home we had filled with commitment and love.
Our
blessings could not have happened without God above.
Today
our lives are filled with grandchildren, great-grandchildren, friends, and
other kin.
To thank
you for celebrating with us, there’s no place to begin.
They
said it wouldn’t last our love at first sight.
Love
lasts forever when it done right.
Marriage
takes commitment and love with help from the Divine.
That’s
something everyone must remember when we ask “will you be mine?”
They
said it wouldn’t last, but the years have flown by.
Fifty
precious years that started on a lovely day in late July.
For: Aubrey and Ruth Randall on
their fiftieth wedding anniversary on September 2, 2001
