Happy Anniversary Ed & Ruby
Friendship’s Road

Friendships that have stood the test,
Of time and change are surely best.
Brows may wrinkle, hair grow gray,
Friendship never knows decay.

We cherish your friendship in our breast
New is good....but old is best.
Make new friends, but keep the old,
Those are silver, these are gold.

There's happiness in little things
There's joy in passing pleasure.
But friendships are, from year to year,
The best of all life's treasure

Just like a rose so precious and rare,
Is the friendship that the four of us share.
Planted with kindness, it's warmed by the sun,
Of caring and sharing, of laughter and fun.

It's grounded in trust and nurtured in love,
Blessed by Jehovah from Heaven above.
In spirit and truth we worship together,
It makes life’s trials easy to weather.

Your friendship is a chain of gold
Shaped in God's most perfect mold.
Each link a smile, a laugh, a tear,
A grip of the hand, a word of cheer.

Steadfast as the ages roll,
Binding closer soul to soul,
No matter how far or heavy the load,
Sweet is the journey on friendship's road.
Happy Anniversary, our dear friends.
From Jim & Annie
