It is your marriage anniversary-
The day two hearts were blessed as man and wife
In Church: before the Lord, you did marry,
With pledge to love and share each other’s strife!
The gentleman looked neat in attire;
The lady dressed almost like a fairy:
Bejeweled gorgeously in a saree;
While thanks-giving hymns sung were by lyre.
The nuptial knots were tied on sacred thread
On earth, but marriage was made in heaven;
‘Let none break what I’ve joined today, ’ God said;
You thanked the Lord for this and said, Amen!
Yes, many years have testified this truth;
The gift of child- proof of God bless’d a fruit!
