As we get
older and we begin to slow down
Our hairs turns to gray and is faded from brown
We don’t always hear the things that are said
And it seems to take longer to get out of bed
We suddenly
find that our friends fade away
A few at a time but we remember the day
When we first met that someone we knew was the one
And the years spent together and all of the fun
The good times
and bad we shared every day
We remember them all in every word that we say
And even though many years have all passed us by
The time we spent together brings a tear to our eye
Our children
don’t seem to grasp the long and hard fight
To keep us together as one family each night
The long hours of tears that we shed every day
Just to make sure that our kids could find their own way
The ups and
the downs whether good or bad
We never allowed them to see us as sad
We wanted them to know that a family comes first
No matter the troubles, no matter the worst
We wore out
our knees every night as we prayed
And made that in Church is where we all stayed
We raised them with God the reason we love
And gave thanks to our Lord in heaven above
A marriage is
a commitment that you make out of love
And it is blessed by our Lord in heaven above
You started with love and through good times and bad
Remember the children and don’t make them be sad
So remember
these words that I am writing today
And keep them beside you and remember to pray
A marriage together means a family that’s strong
And staying together will never be wrong
