Bands of Gold A precious band of gold was placed
Some fifty years ago
Upon two hearts of tender years
Who vowed their love would grow
The gold was not within the ring,
Nor in their faces fair,
It wasn’t in their youth or charm,
But in the love they shared.
The gold was there for them to spend
When silver coins were rare,
It didn’t buy them more to have,
But taught them how to share.
They spent it on a loving look,
On patience, kindness, trust.
They spent it on the kinds of things
That cannot wilt or rust
And the wonder of this band of gold
If you can comprehend,
Each time they used their gift of love,
There was that much more to spend.
It bought them trust, it bought them hope,
A tender hand to hold
It bought a blessed and lovely thing,
A marriage carved in gold.
