Today the year would be thirty-four
since you vowed to take each other's hand
in marriage
and love forevermore.
Daddy left this world before you
and made Heaven his new home,
and you would quickly follow,
for you did not want him to be alone.
I know that Heaven is where you're celebrating
your 34th anniversary today,
showing your unconditional love
to each other in every possible way.
The same way you did
when ya'll were here.
Making it work no matter what,
for each burden you would share.
There wasn't a storm
that you two could not weather,
because you loved one another so
and vowed to stay together.
I can see ya'll plain as day
standing on God's golden shore,
walking hand in hand
and celebrating many more.
For I know that together
is how you will always be,
living together in Heaven
and loving for all eternity.
And all I ever wish
and I know you'd wish this too,
is to have a wonderful marriage
such as the two of you.
