31 Years, One Flavor

31 Years, One Flavor

Covenant made 31 years ago;
Young man and young woman pledged love so true
Living out marriage vows, how could we know?
With each blessing and each sorrow love grew.

Within six short years our love multiplied;
Rachel and Marques arrived bringing joy.
Now mother and father teamed to provide;
Nurture and teaching to our girl and boy.

The years seemed to quickly move us along;
We laughed and we cried and sometimes stretched far.
We promised to stay and right any wrong;
The fruit of our love no trouble could mar.

Thank you, dear Reggie, my gift from above;
Thirty-one years with one flavor, our love.
