Golden Days
H How can one hope to ever present,
A All that’s happened, event to event?
P Pretty high school girl, Winton Woods “date.”
P Pretty Tennessee bride, life’s soul mate.
Y Young marriage? Yes. God, His wisdom sent.
F Finances were often super tight
I In spite of work and homemaker’s might.
F Finished (always wed) B. A. degree,
T Teaching Hobe’s literature was to be.
I It introduced us to the sea’s sight.
E Eventually, teaching changed a bit,
T The Bible became more life’s great “hit.”
H Helping prepare workers for the field,
W Wishing to increase the Master’s yield,
E Ended in Friendsville – God’s timing fit.
D Dining, other duties tired my wife,
D Dual/triple “chores” consumed my own life.
I In eighty-five pulled out for AK:
N New roads, tent, campsites filled every day,
G God’s given pleasures, only slight strife.
A Andrew, Lincoln, Laura, and Heather
N Nested in Bryan’s nest together.
N Nice to each other, nice to Mom, Dad,
I In times when little was all we had.
V Vacations? – with long or short tether.
E Eventually each sought/found a mate.
R Rightly, their finds would be hard to rate,
S Seventeen “grands” bless Martha and me,
A A few near, but most “over the sea.”
R Rich we are – this side heaven’s grand gate.
Y Yield (all!) so you’ll live beyond the blue.
B Babe, you’re good for me, hope me you.
A Always ‘member, I’ve loved you always.
B Blessings on our own fiftieth days.
E “Edgar and Martha,” happy “young” two.
