These Are My JOTtings...

Thirty-Two Years Ago

Thirty-two years ago, my Dear!
Thirty-two years ago!
We walked back up the aisle as one
as Man and Wife, I know, my Dear!
Thirty-two years ago!

Thirty-two years ago, my Dear!
Thirty-two years ago!
You came to share my home with me
as friend and wife, I'm glad my Dear!
Thirty-two years ago!

Thirty-two years have all been full!
Thirty-two years, How full!
We've moved eight times from place to place
for ministry and growing grace.
Thirty-two years, How full!

Thirty-two trips around the globe!
Thirty-two globes to trot!
A teacher and a stylist, we
have lived to serve the ones we see.
Thirty-two globes to trot!

Fifteen years ago, So Blessed!
So blessed these fifteen years!
A daughter came in joy we know,
her talent trove the world to show.
So blessed these fifteen years!

For seven years we've known great hope!
Blessed seven years of hope!
Delivered by The Master's Touch!
What Gift of Grace we love so much!
Blessed seven years of hope!

Thirty-two years ago, my Love!
Thirty-two years ago!
Your smiling "Yes!" bequeathed my smile,
that sings of you for years awhile.
Thirty-two years we go!
