Having entered my eighth decade
And for many-a child’s welfare prayed
I am happy yet to be wifed
By one who keeps at bay that strife.
She is as fair as a lady could be
And still has much to do with me
(A woeful beast descended from Adam
Hardly worth of such a madam)!
On we go living in the moment,
Knowing that to heaven we are bent
By the One who turned us upward
Against our selfish dissent
And guides us by His Spirit and Word.
She’s a better wife than I a husband
Illustrating what grace is about!
I’m left with nothing but a shout
Of thanks to God and to her!
No one but Jayne would I prefer!<\/p>\n\n\n\n
