Happy Anniversary today to my mom and dad, Paul and Ruby Davis! On June 2, 1950, Mom and Dad were married in Battle Creek, Michigan! Fifty-nine years is a long time! Congratulations!!! God has certainly been good to them...together after all these years!
Here are the lyrics to a song that I wrote for them, nine years ago for the occasion of their 50th wedding anniversary. It sort of tells 'their story'.
TWO HEARTS
A little girl from Oklahoma
Moved to Michigan.
Mom and Pop and brother loved her
She meant the world to them.
Grew into a fine young lady,
precious ruby rare.
Charming grace, radiant beauty,
Gentle spirit beyond compare.
A little boy, son of a minister
in a West Virginia home
With sister Nel and brother John
Life was filled with so much fun.
Music called him, and he answered;
Moved to Michigan.
Went to study, met a beauty;
Won her heart and she won his.
Two hearts, One love
Carried them through the years
Down life's road together
In storms and sunny weather;
God's love has guided these two hearts.
A travel trailer for a home,
So many miles they roamed.
One week here, another there,
Sung the gospel everywhere.
Some years later, came a daughter,
Made a family.
Three hearts to love, three songs to sing;
How they made God's praises ring.
Year have changed things
But still remaining
Are golden memories.
The best is yet to come, they say
"Heaven will be mine someday"
Where God leads them, they still follow
Blessings overflow!
How many souls they've led to Jesus
Only Heaven knows.
Two hearts, One love
Carried them through the years
Down life's road together
In storms and sunny weather;
God's love has guided these two hearts.
