LOVE,STILL OURS (50th anniversary for sister Kate)

WE had been so young,and so many years have passed,it seems...Somehow,we had met,and our paths crossed-yours and mine.I didn`t matter what the attraction,as if in our dreams.Maybe it was fate,or the destiny of our Lord`s design......It was more than the quickened step of her walks,or the gentle bounce of her pretty hair...or just remembering the conversation of our idle talks-the regimented presuits,or just plain `being there`......How often memory serves no purpose,nor worldly fare-for lacking what the good `ol days could please...Or brewing up comfortable memories,we because we still care,remembering days gone by-with much more ease.......The days of our youth,which we thought were well spent.No worldly acclaim,no less flair,-sometimes a few tears,A few harsh words- but mostly forgiveness was meant. Nevertheless,we were together,hand in hand,through the years.......A little bit of nostalgia stays tucked away,in our hearts.On occasion,we`ll pull out the memoirs,we trust...gazing upon the photos taken,while some `mind-wondering` starts;thinking of vacations,past expectations-and,as we brush off the dust...We`ll stop to look at each other,and see more charm in our smile.Or we`d laugh,while we`d help each other get in and out of our car.But never,had we been sorry that we walked down that isle...Through trial and error,neither of us had strayed too far........Time-seeming to pass more slowly now,as our pace grows slow...Busy,with things of today,and not too much dwelling on spoils of the past-We`ll conjure up thoughts of less taxing times-the mood of years ago........WE won`t waste our precious time,and will it all last...There`s not a doubt,this love of ours has brought us through.We`ve shared an adventure,in all those years...Though now,we`re bespeckled,and get out of bed with a grimace or two...defying the odds,weathering storms,and overcoming our fears........Still,our marriage has marked a spot upon this earth-an inspiration of hope all around,as well it should. We`ll not regret,or have need of yesterdays that are gone...for God waits for us both,to spend eternity with Him. [This is what love is supposed to be like].Rest in peace-dear, Sister.I will always remember.
