The vows we said

The day we wed,

A promise made

As we bade

Farewell to the past,

Hello to a future to last.

Through the years,

Laughter and tears,

Happiness and sorrow,

And hope for tomorrow–

Our foundation is love,

Precious gift from above.

Our rings a token

Of a circle never broken,

Blessed by God

As life’s path we trod,

In sickness and in health,

Poor or in wealth,

Our love remains true,

Holding us–me and you.
