In the beginning there were two young souls
Each living a lifetime before they were grown
Representing hope to the others' dreams and goals
Wounded hearts in the shadows of their own homes
The bride in a bed sheet wedding gown and a groom just 18
On their own together facing a journey unforeseen
They were judged and many counted them out
Walking in faith forward with a future in doubt
The early years came and went as their family grew
Tears of happiness arrived with joys they never knew
Life found a way facing many sorrows with mercy
They persevered bravely in the face of adversity
Despite many hardships they never gave up the fight
Forgiveness at the helm of love’s ship guided by light
The chaotic seas calmed with the hands of grace
Redemption and love intertwined like a beautiful lace
Those same souls now older, wiser still full of gratitude and care
For the their journey and family were built on hope and a prayer
We lift our glasses tonight in honor of your life together saying cheers
Mom and Dad, with all our hearts we honor your fifty years!
