Forty-three years ago this week, two young lovers joined
hands and hearts, pledging their commitment to each other forever. I never
imagined I could love Dick more than I loved him that day, but I do.
Every day since that beautiful June morning, our love for
each other increases. What we had on our wedding day was merely the bud of
love; each successive day has allowed that love to open a little further, like
a rose blooming, petal by petal. The love we shared then, while exquisite and beautiful,
can’t compare to the deep-rooted, unfurled love God has blessed us with today.
It’s a love that has carried us through all that the wedding
ceremony speaks of—better, worse, richer, poorer, sickness, and health. Each
blessing and every challenge reveals another layer of love. With every passing
year our love grows exponentially.
For me, the 1969 song, “More Today Than Yesterday”
by Spiral Staircase, says it all:
I don't remember what
day it was;
I didn't notice what
time it was.
All I know is that I
fell in love with you,
And if all my dreams
come true,
I'll be spending time
with you.
Every day's a new day
in love with you;
With each day comes a
new way of loving you.
Every time I kiss
your lips my mind starts to wander.
If all my dreams come
true,
I'll be spending time
with you.
Oh, I love you more
today than yesterday,
But not as much as
tomorrow.
I love you more today
than yesterday,
But, darling, not as
much as tomorrow.
Tomorrow's date means
springtime's just a day away.
Cupid, we don't need
ya now, be on your way.
I thank the Lord for
love like ours that grows ever stronger,
And I always will be
true.
I know you feel the
same way, too.
Oh, I love you more
today than yesterday,
But not as much as
tomorrow.
I love you more today
than yesterday,
But only half as much
as tomorrow.
Every day's a new
day, every time I love ya.
Every way's a new
way, every time I love ya.
Every day's a new
day, every time I love ya.
Like finding the perfect Hallmark card, this song sums up my
feelings pretty well. I love you, Dicky Williams! And I will love you even more
tomorrow!
Blessings!
