On a cold winter day

our hearts were warm

by each others side we would stay

Only separated by World War II

at the end of the year

always reminiscing, saying “I do.”

In Marysville, Kansas we became one

New Years Eve was everyday

and our love was never done

Commitment our children would see

a bond they’d understand

within the strength of family

Love grew with new sons and daughters, too

children by marriage

we love everyone of you

We watched you start families of your own

grand-children bouncing on our knees

our little children were now grown

The years kept flying by

but we were never alone

now great-grandchildren were by our side

We’ll always be with you

but now it’s time

never forget we love you

We’re starting a new life together

it’s fresh and it’s new

and our love will last forever…
