Happy Birthday Baby

This post is for two things.  One is to say Happy Birthday to my wife. The other is to share this poem I wrote. This poem was to be for our anniversary last April, but it took me a long time to finish it. The poem has now become a birthday present, but was written to celebrate our ten year anniversary. I hope you will enjoy it, and help me wish Jessica a Happy Birthday!




Ten years down the road
Oh how time goes by
Three children later
For you all I would die

Ten years down the road
Since we first said..... I Do 
You took my last name
We became one, no longer two

Ten years down the road
Since our first little place in Marquette
We've moved around a bit
To Portage, to Berlin, then to Texas we went

Ten years down the road
We found a church and got involved
We built our home
We've kept our resolve

Ten years down the road 
We've had good times and bad
We've had joy and grief
But in each other we've always found sweet relief

Ten years down the road
And all will agree
That I must praise God
For you and our three

Ten years down the road
We look not only back, but ahead
To twenty, thirty, forty more
As by God we are lead
