Forty three years ago they said " I do"
through hard times and woe they made it through
losing a daughter five sons they did gain
helping them loving them through their pain
Shared laughter, smiles, sadness and tears
a love so strong kept away their fears
They watched their children grow everyday
Showing their love in every special way
Grandchildren were born to these special two
to love and to cherish is what they did do
spoiling them rotten with their loving ways
watching them grow throughout their days
They have both passed not too far apart
with their love branded in our heart
They are together watching us day to day
I know they will guide us in every way
Together forever for forty three years
Standing in heaven drying our tears
back together with pain no more
We will love them forever more
Author notes
Dedicated in loving memory to: Alton Miller Sr. and Mary Elizabeth Miller, married forty three years and died seventeen days apart. We will love and miss them forever.
