Anniversary
Can I say enough or sing enough
to get the story right?
How you live for others, for me,
for your children day and night.
You are friends with many angel women
within your sight.
You give each other strength
and share your constant light.
Few women will ever be
as true as you.
Your Temple vows you keep.
Each day you renew.
Your skillful, gentle, helpful, thoughts
you always review.
Never feel guilt for any things
you didn’t do.
[Chorus]
Guilt’s a bummer, Dear,
just remember who you are.
A wonder it would be if
all women could rise so far.
As you do and have done
all your life.
I’m grateful, Loni, that you live
free from hateful strife.
[guitar solo]
You’re a near perfect woman, Dear,
accept our aging fears.
It’s true, some life event
do cause several tears.
But you have been totally unyielding
to sin through the years.
When it comes to meanness,
hateful ways are NEVER near.
Let’s keep on the path to join
our parents dear.
Let’s do the things that keep
the spirit near.
Let’s support one another
with love, not fear.
I love you, Dear, we’ve shifted to high.
It’s a growth gear.
[Chorus]
Guilt’s a bummer, Dear,
just remember who you are.
A wonder it would be if all women
could rise so far.
As you do and have done
all your life.
I’m grateful, Loni, that you live
free from hateful strife.
[guitar solo]
You are an angel, Dear,
Never feel guilty again.
