My dear brother Paul has hit a milestone in his life-walk with his wife… 20 years of marriage. He emailed me a poem he wrote for his wife Melissa. Paul has such a big heart which you can plainly see in his words of love.

With Paul’s agreement, I thought is so wonderful to post this as a read for whoever might stumble upon this little site of ours.

Now Paul and I would love to invite you to add your own segment to this poem. Feel free to compose one or more additions to this little collection of life thoughts and send them to us as a post. I will add them to this blog for all to see.

Enjoy and much love to all whose hearts are moved in this selfless dance we call marriage!

Twenty years

In twenty years we’ve seen miracles
For twenty years weathered storms
In twenty years smelled roses
For twenty years you’ve adorn

In twenty years had tears
For twenty years of love
In twenty years seen sorrow
For twenty years faith above

In twenty years had fights
For twenty years taken risk
In twenty years eaten ice cream
For twenty years of bliss

In twenty years wrecked cars
For twenty years made a home
In twenty years mowed the lawn
For twenty years hugged hello

In twenty years lost loved ones
For twenty years made love
In twenty years had friends
For twenty years hand in glove

In twenty years had children
For twenty years they’ve grown
In twenty years of foundation
For twenty years of their own

In twenty years had fears
For twenty years waved goodbye
In twenty years seen the wonder
Twenty years of sunset sky

In twenty years what will be?
For twenty years on my mind
In twenty years and more…
I’ll love you all my life

For twenty years…

…and twenty more…
…and twenty more…
