In the Bible it is written,
among the "Thees" and "Thows";
Just what I promised you,
in these our wedding vows.
I promised you forever,
is how long you'd feel my love;
No matter what the struggle,
ever come to push or shove.
I promised you I'd stand by you,
from then 'til Heaven calls;
I'd hold you tight and comfort you,
to never let you fall.
I promised you I'd hold your hand,
all through life's weary way;
I'd guide you and protect you,
grow closer day by day.
I promised to defend you,
to stand up for my bride;
To make you first within my life,
and put all else aside.
I promised you I'd be the man,
My God would have me be;
I'd show you kindness in our life,
our marriage I would lead.
I promised you I'd comfort you,
forever keep you safe;
To wrap you up with loving arms,
my arms your sacred place.
With those few vows I said to you,
forever was my goal;
And here we are still so in love,
since 50 years ago!
Just 50 short years ago my dad and mom, Ed Whiting and Carol French Whiting, made a solemn vow to each other in matrimony. I can't begin to express the love they have for each other and the extent they both exhibit it to each other as well as everyone around.
They are truly two beautiful lovebirds as well by far the best parents any man woman or child could be blessed with having! HAPPY 50th ANNIVERSARY MOM AND DAD!! I love you!
I wrote this poem today with the commitment and dedication I have witnessed in their lives on a daily basis...
