WhiteDove Posted May 5, 2006 Share Posted May 5, 2006 (edited) Twenty-one years ago today May 5th, in the courtyard of a Botanical Garden a few hundred feet from the little study where Charles Sheldon wrote his now famous book “In His Steps ". I was quietly taking some steps of my own. Three in fact…. Onto the cobblestone courtyard where I quietly walked through a gathering of family, fellow workers, and long time friends. ( Of course I did not know at the time but some of those would find their way to this cafe many years later) Ahead I could see an old friend Tommy C. awaiting my arrival. And it was there before all assembled, with my best friend, my lifelong love, my bride, that I pledged to honor, to cherish, to sustain, and to love with all my heart, in every situation, under every condition, according to God's Holy Word, as becometh a Christian husband, so long as you both shall live. That day, I thought love would conquer all and we would live "Happily Ever After" But I was wrong...... Still, all these years later I have to say Loving you is something I couldn't stop, Even if I tried.... I’ve loved you, rightly or wrongly, For so many reasons- And those reasons haven’t changed, No matter how things have worked out. I’ll always remember you – and us The way we were at the beginning And I’ll always treasure the things we’ve shared, And the things you’ve taught me, Deep In my heart, Tucked away in a secret, special place…… I loved loving you! Perhaps Dylan said it best: "And though our separation, It pierced me to the heart You still live inside of me, We’ve never been apart."
