Diamonds are Forever

The great day by God’s grace has at last arrived

When sixty years ago

Mom and Dad became husband and wife

Sixty years filled with sharing

Six decades filled with caring

There is just no comparing

To a life filled with love and understanding.

Their happiness lies in sharing all in life

Sharing trials and triumphs joys and problems too

They know they will be together

Whether days are grey or bright

Sharing all the little things that make their daily life.

A journey through sixty years

Stories full of achievements

Dad, a leader, philanthropist and advisor to his peers

A selfless man with a generous heart

Solving problems that others can’t

Respected in the community for his precious advice

Always known to be kind and nice.

Mom is the force and his support behind

Caring for her home yet always by his side

Mom and Dad like two wheels of any train

Together you move this family train

Paving the way for us, your children to follow

Teaching us not to be superficial or shallow.

You are the diamonds in our lives

Whose luster is simply the best

You shine from afar and stand out from the rest

In the three C’s of diamonds your colour is blue - rare

Clarity loop clean and a cut above the rest

So perfectly matched as a pair.

It is our greatest happiness to have you today

As “shining” examples of Mom and Dad

May you always be there with your hands over our heads

And your luster lost never

For it is not for nothing they say “Diamonds are forever”.

May this diamond anniversary soon turn to platinum

May you have the heavenly joy of more great grandchildren

May your love grow even more today

Good health, happiness be your way

For all this and more together we shall pray

Today on your diamond wedding anniversary day.

For my parents 60th Anniversary
