Two Years Today

By I.M. Ulysses

Two years today
Time stood in the way
On God's holy hill
With the sunlight at bay

Two years today
I had to decide
What to do
With this secret inside

Two years today
I took a deep breath
And began a request
That I'd practiced, out west

Two years today
I glanced in your eyes
And remembered those tears
From our last good byes

Two years today
I knew what to do
When I started to talk
About the future with you

Two years today
The angels were there
As I fumbled with words
That many would fear

Two years today
I took from beside
A hidden coat pocket
With a secret inside

Two years today
I asked you to be mine
And waited a second
For you to decide

Two years today
You cried and said yes
And gave me a kiss
To know I was blessed

Two years today
I boarded a plane
And flew to back Calgary
Where I had to remain

Two years today
A promise was made
And kept by our Father
In Glory arrayed

Two year today
Our lives were changed
And now we're together
In love, to remain.

For my bride, Marion, on the second anniversary of our engagement. I love you!
