Eager and nervous, but minds sei on each other and not on self,
They came at last to Flint Hill tc see P.H. Chelf. When they arrived ai the pastor’s home.
He was in his coveralls painting, but said he’d put his Suit on.
This couple^ now here, with such a cause,
Told the preacher to just marr> them in his coveralls.
Vows now exchanged, the preacher done,
Clyde and Lillie became one. . „
They journeyed back to the hollows again,
This time though there were wife and man.
Climbing the hills to his parent’s home to spend their first night together.
Does love last forever?
Well, Sixty Years should be prool that love can abide.
Something’s been the glue between Lillie and Clyde.
Now in their seventies, and wrinkled by times own hand,
They’re here today in Flint Hill still wife and husband.
Now, congratulations on youi Sixty Years,
Coming this far together through joys and fears.
Being companions for so long is indeed worthy or praise,
Love...folks will see you through to the last days.
