FORTIETH ANNIVERSARY DEAN AND GLADYS BEATY
By Dean Beaty
6/17/04
Where have they all gone? The years flee away.
Forty have past
by, since that wonderful day.
We stood all
alone and pledging our love.
Praying that we
would be blessed from above.
We promised to love and hold
to just one.
It’s still true
today. That how it begun.
Love undivided
and growing each day,
Can’t be
diminished or taken away.
To love isn’t
hard, when two hearts are one.
Knit to each
other and others we shun.
If God should
provide us forty years more,
My love will still grow, for her I adore.
Nothing is
perfect in this world below.
But putting her
first will cause love to grow.
Forgiveness and
kindness, forgetting the errors
Where wheat or
love grows there’s also some tares.
Much faith and
trusting will go a long way,
To keep you
together at the end of the day.
What makes it
work, to love to the end?
Knowing that your wife is also your friend.
