Many, Many Long Years Ago
How blessed we were back then and how-
not knowing then what we know now;
our hearts stayed warm with love's first glow-
many, many long years ago.
Our love did multiply by three-
One son, two daughters came to be-
grew from our love- theirs too would sow-
many, many long years ago.
For from their loves, were added five
sweet grandchildren who did arrive.
Of those, one now- ne'er dreamed would grow-
many, many long years ago-
a brand new branch upon our tree-
child of our son's child- soon we'll see-
great-granddaughter! Such joy- who'd know-
many, many long years ago.
