Around the Calendar We Go – v2

Another year is about to begin
of a story that doesn’t grow old
of the way we met, the lives we left
the things we learned and we know now

For you are my wife, the love of my life
the one with whom I’ll grow old
the one with whom I share my days
So these words are written for you
though they may only be a few.

They share a tale of love and hope
found in our heads and in our hearts
of the dream of a life without end
where we will be more than friends.

Where we will walk with the saints
the apostles of old, the prophets,
and we will ever be bold
To run to our Brother and kneel
and thank Him for what he had done.

To give us a chance to live and to grow,
So around the calendar we go
to wait and to hope to the end
when the world will come to a close.

And the glorious day will come
and we’ll bow and we will rise once more
when we too can look in His eyes
and thank Him for His precious gift
of love and of grace.
