‘Tis twenty years since first we took the road
\nOn which we learned to share a common load;
\nAt times this load would on us tighten
\nBut, with the passing years, it came to lighten,
\nFelt warm and comforting upon our backs
\nSo that we came to realise, a life that lacks
\nSome such weight to bear us company
\nIs to forsake a growing harmony,
\nEvolving, as it does, our union
\nTo the blessed fields of\u00a0 Elysium.<\/p>\n
Our footsteps beat a rhythm as we go
\nThat wears a trail that leaves a lasting glow
\nFor loved ones on the way, to guide or teach
\nAnd place the cup of life within their reach.
\nWhat times we had! As still remains the hope
\nFor dreams we can express within the view,
\nUnimpeded by any fear to cope
\nAs, with joined hands, we pledge our love anew.<\/p>\n
