Fifty years since Debi picked
A chapter in the book Tribute to Debi & Glen Marquette

A Golden Span

by Jessica Wheeler

 
Their fifty years, a golden span
of love, laid brick by brick,
began the day a worthy man
became dear Debi's pick.

A winding road once led astray
with cracks and bumps endured,
would cross a path along the way
that led to trust secured.

But life would put a dream on hold,
said not to be fulfilled.
And through the silent pain untold,
their faith would only build.

Then time declared, with gentle might,
a miracle extended.
They watched their answered prayers rewrite
what nature once intended.

Their blessings came, two girls, a boy,
three living dreams made true.
To grow by bundles, six, of joy-
with children's children, too.

It's written as the fates agree
two souls were meant for love,
transcending half a century,
aligned in stars above.

A bond to weather time's great test
is one to never break.
The way is found, for God has blessed
the path and choice to make.

A match well made, it's clear to see,
and Glen, don't you forget
how truly blessed you are to be
dear Debi's pick, Marquette!
 




Happy Anniversary, Debi and Glen! Your story is a true inspiration. To many more years of blessings! Xoxo
