"What's OUR Problem?!"

That question echoes through my mind as I ponder the lives of those we have met over the years...and look at them now.  I guess the TRUE question be "What's RIGHT with us?!"  Hmm...

Over 40 years ago
I fell in love with you
singing hymns upon the beach--
three years past school...who knew?!
Mini-golf upon the weekends...
breakfast after work...
ups-and-downs of everyday...
somehow, we made it work!
WHAT'S WRONG WITH US?!

So many decades now behind;
the memories--high and low;
children and grandchildren, too,
continue we to grow!
Coffee in the morning-tide,
each day I sit by you
as we discuss the day ahead
and pray for it anew...
WHAT'S WRONG WITH US?!

The friends that we have had for years
that 'couples' have become
have found that 'marriage' doesn't work,
and tragic be the sum!
Yet press we on through good and bad
with Jesus at the head.
Though 'life--' it would affect us both,
we just 'adjust' instead!
WHAT'S WRONG WITH US?!

"What's wrong with us, honey?  We go through tragedy and triumph...hope and despair...prosperity and desperation...and here we are, 40 years later, still in love.  We've got a problem!"
