The Stuff We're Made Of (A sappy-but-true forty-second anniversary lilt)

 


Oh Love.

I’d do it all again.

Even the hard stuff.

Because of what our life together

has made of us,

what God has wrought from it

and who we’ve become

in the grace of each other.

I'm a me I'd never be

if not for you.

 

And look!

(Some numbers because you love them)

There was just two of us at first.

Now there’s eleven plus one.

Plus thirty give or take.

This I never could have imagined for us!

Who knew this would be the ‘us’ of us

at forty-two.

He knew.

 

Happy, happy us day,

My Love.

My Hero.

My partner in all things.

My God-send, in truth.
