When love comes, ever so softly,
and whispers in your ear–
be ready to open your heart
for someone you will hold dear.
Stay by each other
when times are good,
Cling together
when things go wrong.
Make your love a cherished thing
like a possession or a song.
Stay strong in faith and family
as the years pass swiftly by
and thank God for the gift of love
that will never die.
This poem is dedicated to my friends Mr. and Mrs. Fryer on their 50th anniversary.
