Our Wedding Vows (looking back)

by Debi Pick Marquette


On May Eighteenth, Nineteen Seventy Four
We said I do, and forevermore

We said I will, and we do still
But sometimes it seemed it was all uphill

We also vowed for better or for worse
At times the worse seemed like a curse

The better hit some rough times here
Now the better's getting better each year

Not sure if we knew what "love" was about
We've earned that love, and now there's no doubt

We knew what for richer or poorer meant
After groceries and bills, our paychecks were spent

We proclaimed, in sickness and health
Didn't realize then, our health was our wealth

Next we vowed until death do us part
Seemed easy at first; it was only the start

Sometimes we forgot where these vows came from
God made it clear; one plus one equals one


Now older and wiser, we know marriage is hard
It'd been easy to walk, when our hearts were scarred

Forgiveness has been our saving grace 
If none, satan takes our Savior's place

Truly important, is respect and to trust
Without them, I doubt there would still be an us

Our love for our children, has kept us going
And our love for each other, has kept on growing 

Our marriage is Blessed by God up above
With faith and hope, but the greatest is love

We then were pronounced, husband and wife
I can't imagine me, without you in my life
