It begins with a linking of generations
United as earthly family: grandparents,
Parents and in-laws, brothers and sisters,
Aunts, uncles, cousins, and grandchildren
A new bride and groom begin anew
Their own family branch intermingling
Roots of two distinct different families
Developing their own unique leaves
Which will in turn become branches
One great earthly family intertwined,
Conceived in love, bound by covenants
Made in holy temples, guided by God above
Standing strong throughout all eternity
Very exciting. Remind me how many children and grandchildren you have?
ReplyDeletewell, since you asked: I have 4 sons, 5 grandchildren (4 of them adopted into our family), my husband has 4 daughters and 16 grandchildren+2 step grandchildren. so we have 21+2 grandchildren combined. lots of family, and step families in different blended combinations.
ReplyDeleteAwesome, congratulations!
ReplyDeleteoh my goodness! look how much they look alike. that's always been my standard of measure. If a couple looks similar it's gotta be a good fit!
ReplyDeleteThanks everyone! And great poem mom! We are very happy together. =)
ReplyDeleteI thought exactly what Susan thought. They look so much alike... And, like her... I think that's a sign of something good!
ReplyDeleteSo... I raise my glass to many happy anniversaries in their future!
