There once was couple…

There once was a couple, who lived on a Rock,
In a town they called Steadfast, in the middle of the block.
Their home was built firmly, out of truth and with love,
For bricks and for mortar, they inquired above.
**
Now to this family, four children were born,
Then grandchildren and great-grandchildren like fields of corn.
Each life was planted firmly, in truth and with love,
For patience and for peace, they inquired above.
**
Sixty years of cherished memories, one frame at a time,
Help to bring into sharp focus matrimony sublime,
And capture the image of God’s great gift of love.
For the grace to endure, they inquired above.
**
“All things work together”, ‘tis easy to say,
But the couple on the Rock proved it true in just this way:
They lived sixty years in the vow of true love;
They put the Lord first and they inquired above.
**
The point of this story, I think you’ll agree,
Is a marriage made in heaven, a marriage meant to be,
It has weathered the storms and cared for a flock –
There once was a couple, who lived on a Rock…
