Anniversary Promise Today your hearts are overflowing Gazing back upon the precious years, As you embrace the memories of such love Your eyes fill up with tears. Oh, the wonder of the days of courtship The delight when you first met, Your hearts exploded with the purest joy Such fragrance you cannot forget. To frolic with secure abandonment And laugh as one to be, Hearing music as you kiss once more Held in your Lord eternally. With devotion you kept your vows Of promise to commit your hearts, Together, unto the Father's love To walk with Him your daily path. When you look upon each other's face You read such tenderness, Beneath shy lashes, sweet gentle eyes How could you love the less. How hard you worked together As one, to give all that you are, Your lives fully devoted To friends and family near and far Your gift to each other is complete Your heart for the other one alone The love you share together A blessing from the God you know.
