Happily Ever After Tony and June Ventura

Happily Ever After

Tony and June Ventura

We live in an age of broken homes,

Broken hearts and broken dreams;

How wonderful to find a godly couple,

Who held hands ‘til life’s final scene.

They met in the Navy,

Shipmates, in love for life;

Off on this great journey,

Under the Captain as husband and wife.

Their ship sailed on life’s waters,

For an amazing sixty-six years;

With children and family as crew,

On the waves of faith and prayer.

In love with one another,

They worshipped and served as one;

Through age and illness joined,

‘til the final port was won.

Just a comma paused their deaths,

As a fairy tale might have close;

Living Happily Ever After –

As Christians, the destiny chose.

God, who knows all hearts,

Knew their reunion would be soon;

Young again together in glory,

The couple, Tony and June.

Sixty Years

Sixty Years

There is within this age

Of broken promises, homes and hearts;

An example set before us,

That the Thomas Couple imparts.

Sixty years of living and loving,

Three score celebrated today;

Grafted in with God Himself,

Upon the cake display.

Not many can say the same,

With their Bride in clasp hand;

The Groom holds tightly,

His woman and he her man.

Sixty years passed so quickly,

In sickness and in health;

For richer and for poorer,

With each other, they have wealth.

Bill and Charlene Thomas,

Together you pose as one;

Never fear the future,

The best is yet to come!
