Incredible journey, from '66 they start,
Resilient in love, with united heart.
Embracing life's dance, both joy and despair,
Navigating together, a path they would share,
Endlessly working, their family's cornerstone.

Guiding youth at church, seeds of hope they would sew,
Raising children with care, through high and the low.
Adventures by sea and stories untold,
Hardships braved, their love never cold,
Amid moves and changes, a rock they remained.
Memories built, as life's canvas they trained.
Steadfast in trials, two hearts intertwined.

Diligent hands, at bakery and power,
Energies spent, building dreams by the hour.
A life on the move, to Poole and beyond,
Milestones marked, with unbreakable bond.
Onward they traveled, with strength to excel,
New horizons awaited, as their family swelled.
Dancers in life's grand and intricate show.

Years of stories, from trains to toil's strife,
Obstacles faced, building an incredible life.
United in vision, an impressive feat,
Together, through challenges, no easy repeat.
Hearts woven tightly, a gem that withstands,
Endless devotion, in love's gentle hands.
Reflect on this diamond, a bright memory land.
