The Golden Years {Murray & June}


         The Golden Years


It was a simple gathering
Down at the I.G.C.
The first of  such assemblies
This growing church would see.

Attendants complimenting
The bride, in white arrayed,
Though eyes were all on Bonnie,
As cute ‘princess’ she  played.

So June, a young teenager,
With brother, Gord, beside,
Came down the aisle to Murray,
As his resplendent bride.

Now Murray had a ‘Skipper’
To tell him what to do,
To ensure his older brother
Would make his promise true.

And there, the Pastor Emmerson
United them in love,
In front of  friends and family,
Before their Lord above.

Then ‘next door’ they all sauntered,
To enjoy a simple meal,
The guests, with one intention,
Their wedding day to seal.

Now,  parents of three children,
Grand parents, - even ‘great’,
True love is e’er apparent,
In their world, there’s no hate.

And so  “CONGRATULATIONS”
As now we can behold,
The Green to Kuehl commitment,
Has finally reached the GOLD.

Christmas Past

Gifts of gold, incense and myrrh For that baby lying there Were not gifts without much thought, Significant references, they brought. GOLD , for riches of a king, Of properties e'erlasting ring, To celebrate the Kingly birth, Who came as man upon the earth. FRANKINCENSE came from the east For th'annointing of a priest, This babe, a Prophet, Priest and King, Eternal life for all to bring. MYRRH was given, though bitter it's taste, Preparing for the death to be faced, The purpose of His life, - the Cross, To save the world from eternal loss. The media bombard with ads., Pushing forth the latest fads, The parents now seem under stress, They're spending more, though giving less. Oh to live in bygone days Though cash was scarce, with less in pays, The children, then, were quite content And knew what Christmas really meant

I love you dad.

    I told my dad, while on his bed, assuming he did sleep, In hospital, [ he'd not come home ] with tears my eyes did weep, “I love you dad” Then hugged him tight, while feebly he replied “I.............love...............you................too..............son” THAT’S the thing I cherish, since he died. With forty years age difference, while young, we were not close. He wasn't very tactile and nor was he verbose, But as we aged, did closer grow, in ways he’d show his love, We’ll meet again, don’t know the ‘when’, – the ‘where’? – in Heaven above. I then went out to my car after this and bawled my eyes out at having had this special moment.
