I wrote this for their fiftieth wedding anniversary two years ago and feel compelled to share it with those who still believe the world revolves exclusively around love and faith.
A FIFTY YEAR OLD FAIRY TALE…..
There are commoners and then there are royalty. I know of two such esteemed individuals.
Namely, a man; a Prince Joseph (because Joseph is greater than Bob) and his beloved Princess Maria Antonia.
They were not serendipitously brought together from two different continents of the world. Rather, I would like to think that the natural flow of energy from their hearts found their way to each other.
His heart danced wildly across the wide blue ocean as her heart melodiously sang, calling his spirit home.
Encapsulated in electrifying air, time slowed; they spoke tenderly through their minds. Their right of passion translated into adoring thoughts making their daunting language whimsical.
They were joined in Holy Matrimony on July 1, 1961.
They have defined affection, fondness, friendship and devotion and are cherished for their affirmations.
Their heartfelt joy and laughter can be felt many miles away. They have triumphed well above all of their trials, heartaches, hardships and pain. This endless labor has intensified their love for one another.
They remain to this day shamelessly in love.
It is now, July 1, 2011. One half a golden century later, I am still blessed to witness their devotion.
A promise kept alive and warmed by the eternal flame buried deep in their hearts. Should any person ever attempt to extinguish this light they would be burned by the intent alone.
I pray to God to forever hold them eternally in His grace. Allow them, dear Lord, to lovingly ride earth’s angelic rainbows all the way to Your celestial palace.
