Celebrate four decades

Together in a niche

Tucked away in a remote corner

Where none can discover

The couple united for others.

Celebrate four decades

Together on a track

Leading to the horizon

Of another country

Beyond the borders of time.

Celebrate four decades

Together in worship

In languages blended in song

That lifts the soul

To its union with God.

Celebrate four decades

Together around a table

Where the one who drew them together

Sits down in the evening light

And blessing them, fades from sight.
