Today I have been married,
exactly forty-four years.
There's been lots of happiness.
There's been lots of tears.
--
Things are not always easy,
when you've been married so long.
You must learn to compromise.
Sometimes you have to be strong.
--
Remember the vows you made.
You treat your man like a king.
He will treat you like a queen.
These are things happiness brings.
--
Always respect each other.
If your love is to survive,
you must always stand by them,
as long as you are alive.
--
Your life will go by quickly.
You must stop and face your fears.
I hope I will be married.
Another forty-four years.

Howdy y’all. It’s me, ninong7 aka UJ aka John. Just a short intro about myself. I am a Texan that has retired in the Philippines. I moved to the Philippines with my wife back in May 2010. I am retired from the US Air Force. The music I like is mostly Classic Country and Classic Rock. I guess you could say that I am “Classic”. I play dominoes when I can find someone that will play, I play chess, cribbage, spades, hearts, Empire Builder, Rail Baron, Acquire and a few other games. I like to write poems and stories (although pretty novice) and I love learning about history, just about any history. I’m at home on my computer a lot but if I could afford to, I’d be traveling and documenting my travels to post in my blog. I hope to get to know a lot of you through PeakD and Discord.
