Thread Name: A Silver Wedding Song please?
Subject: RE: A Silver Wedding Song please?
Still five years to go but I wrote this anyway.

In the darkness of my night, you are the bright star glowing.
You're the golden sunrise at the dawning of my day
And throughout the daytime, you are the light that guides me
And the moon that graces all the world as the sunset fades away.

When the road is longest, you're the inn on the horizon
And when the dust cakes in my throat, you're the water to my thirst.
If my feet grow weary, you make the journey shorter
And as I reach my haven, you're the arms that greet me first.

Wherever I might lay my head, you're the pillow underneath it
And whenever I'm in trouble you bring succour to my plight.
You're the angel that stands guarding at my side when I am sleeping
And whatever foe confronts me, you're my courage for the fight.

You're today and you're tomorrow, my Christmas and my birthday
And as my life moves on, you're the beginning and the end.
When I doubt the truth of living, you're the child whose smile enfolds me
And though all the world's against me, I know you'll always be my friend.
