Gamaliel and Elvira's Wedding Anniversary (August 14, 1976)

It was forty-eight years ago today,
that we stood before God and man.
We exchanged vowels of love and respect,
and put our lives in the Master's hands.

Over the years, we have seen the storms.
We have seen the burdens of despair.
We have battled with the enemy. Thru
it all, we remember the power of prayer.

We have been  bless in spite of our trials.
We have succeeded because of our love.
It is because  of our unyeilding  faith,
that we remain covered by his blood.

We take this opportunity to reach out
to our family and friends.
To thank those who were there
thru the thick and the thin.

When this day passes into history,
another life's story unfolds.
We are looking forward to the years,
that are more precious than silver or gold.

A poem for my wife on our
forty-eight Wedding Anniversary

Your  Loving Husband
Gamaliel H. Gooding
