Recollection and Fulfilment

(For Maureen on our Golden Wedding Anniversary)

Spoken: Sweet recollection of a time Now very long gone by When first you caught My keen, admiring eye; Love’s sweet hope that was born then And that was never after stilled - Fifty years on now And all has been fulfilled. Sung Chorus: My love for you Will be never ending My love for you Is forever more! My heart still true Is with your heart blending – Both hearts united ‘til we reach Heaven’s shore. Spoken: Life was not easy all that time, But our love shone always strong, And we did gladly thank our God – For He did always help us carry on! We raised a family full of love Each one true and really fine! May that same good Lord bless them and theirs For each day throughout their time. Sung Chorus: My love for you Will be never ending My love for you Is forever more! My heart still true Is with your heart blending – Both hearts united ‘til we reach Heaven’s shore. Now silver sparkles in your hair More bright than when the fire was there And your heart – always loving and kind, Was really made to cope and care, Together we’ve lived until this day – I judged aright – you are a stayer! That we’ll both live for a century Is now my ever-hopeful prayer. Sung Chorus: My love for you Will be never ending My love for you Is forever more! My heart still true Is with your heart blending – Both hearts united ‘til we reach Heaven’s shore.
