Milestone

For more than a decade,
There were struggles, there were easy rides;
And there also were pain and joy.
For the tomorrows to come, we are still hand in hand,
facing rain, snow, and sunny days.
With much affection, with much strength;
Welcoming the new days,
To unfold the petals of our life---
One by one, bravely, beautifully,
and very uniquely.

Kiss Me
by Sixpence

Kiss me out of the bearded barley
Nightly, beside the green, green grass
Swing, swing, swing the spinning step
You wear those shoes and I will wear that dress.

[Chorus:]
Oh, kiss me beneath the milky twilight
Lead me out on the moonlit floor
Lift your open hand
Strike up the band and make the fireflies dance
Silver moon's sparkling
So kiss me

Kiss me down by the broken tree house
Swing me upon its hanging tire
Bring, bring, bring your flowered hat
We'll take the trail marked on your father's map

[Chorus (repeat)]
