| The Rocking Chairs |
| Two rocking chairs on the porch, side by side, In a small Alabama town; One was a husband. One was his wife. Fifty years they had shared and had found ... Many blessings that God had bestowed unto them And had guided them all through the years; How to love and endure many hardships ~ Together, how to conquer their fears. Troubles had visited them often. But, their love prevailed above all, Showing no signs of weakness; Refusing to hear Satan's call. They had stood close beside one another, Not once ever mentioning divorce. Vows they had taken in a small country church. No room had been left for recourse. And, as they sat on their porch reminiscing, The twinkle still shone in their eyes. Though the years, now, showed on their faces; Their devotion could not be denied. |
