God instituted marriage,
When He gave Adam, Eve.
Christ’s first miracle was performed,
At a wedding I believe.
What the Almighty has joined
Let not man put apart.
Imagine the pain, O the loss,
Of a cold, dissected heart.
This earth’s greatest union,
A man and his faithful wife.
Always loving, as Christ the church,
Joined for living and for life.
Forty and six years ago today,
Two became one;
(An initial changed; C. to B.)
For better – worse, for tears – fun.
For children, and their children,
For gray hairs or none.
Years that spell problems and battles,
Here there a victory won.
Forty six. May many more
Belong to Mom and Dad.
Making your lives rich in Christ’s love,
Now, and eternally glad.
– eab, 5/73
