This is a tribute to our great country and nation. It is a short collection called "America Mine"

America Mine

And the Coastal Plain

From the Rockies

And the Mississippi

Capped by the Great Lakes

A Great sprawling

God has been good to us and blessed us with 30 years of wedlock. This video commemorates our beautiful journey. Our theme verse was and is still " He makes all things beautiful in it's time" Ecclesiastes 3:1. I want to share a poem I wrote for this occasion

Thirty gilded seasons

Three decades

Thirty seasons

Thirty years

Have elapsed

Have unfolded

Have continued

Since

Mart & Liz

Kofi & Fanny

Were linked

Were joined

Were married

On this love journey

On this conjugal trip

On this lifetime odyssey

God has been

Good

God has been

Wonderful

God has been

Faithful

Through thick

Through thin

Through everything

We have come

We have persevered

We have blossomed

The next chapters

The next decades

The next seasons

We envisage

We contemplate

We trust

His blessings

To continue
