Ten Years

A child grows and seasons change
From Fall to Spring again
And while the grass grows green and full
I sit and remember when

There was no love nor smiles dear
Nor holding of our hands
There was no laughter warm and sweet
Before we two began

And in the years we've cherished dear
So close to touching hearts
The love we made brings us close
So close to ne'er part

For all the winds that filled our sails
And all the sunny days
We two, together built a life
And here we wish to stay

Until sun sets upon our cheeks
Until the sails lie down
Until the grass turns from green
Our love shall be our crown

Nestled lightly on our brow
It's weight no earthly chore
To lift us up in joyous praise
We shall love for ever more





With love and respect for Tess and Tim Gilmer.
A glass raised to a lifetime of love.
