4 decades ago a ceremony took place,

That defined my destiny in this space;

4 decades ago hymns united two souls as they prayed,

The melody of that day still echoes today;

4 decades ago started a new home,

When they embarked on life’s journey on their own;

4 decades of togetherness filled with love and compassion,

Unconditional, giving, for family and friends it blossomed;

4 decade of togetherness unwavering with values,

Truth, integrity, faith enduring life’s encounters;

4 decades of togetherness underpinned with hard work,

Honesty, discipline an integral part of the struggle;

4 decades of togetherness rooted in belief,

Duty, trust, conviction to navigate through life’s labyrinth;

4 decades of togetherness with passion for learning,

Be a student of life was the mantra for the yearning;

4 decades of togetherness filled with adventure,

Flow like a river, explore, discover life’s treasure;

4 decades of togetherness have come with their struggles,

You tackled them strong wrestling through the troubles,

Togetherness, love, compassion as the shields,

With honesty, trust, faith to proceed;

In 4 decades of togetherness I have learnt,

Life lessons that made me who I am;

As we celebrate this milestone I am in awe,

The beauty of this bond that is witness to it all.
