47 years...

September 4, 1965

 Love never gives up. 

Love cares more for others than for self...

   Love doesn't want what it doesn't have.... 

   Love doesn't strut, 
(unless at Sigma Chi house circa 1964)

   Doesn't have a swelled head, 

(but might have a swelled hair do...)

  Isn't always me first. 

(but a dog might be...)

    Takes pleasure in the flowering of truth... 

   Puts up with anything...

Trusts God always,

Always looks for the best

Never looks back, but keeps going to the end

Trust steadily in God, hope unswervingly, 

love extravagantly. 

And the best of the three is love.

God, Thank You for the example of love my parents have given my brother and me for 47 years.

In His Dust,

DCC
