Side by Side

Here is the poem that Shane wrote for Grandma: Great job Shane it is beautiful

Side By Side


57 years ago, a young women and
A young man, stood side by side
To accept each other’s hand

Together they started a family
Complete with five children, and through out
The years shared heartache, pain and sorrow
The young couple still stood side by side for a better tomorrow

The new families learned about life from the young couple
Sharing lots of love, fun and laughter.
Some drifted out of town due to jobs and callings
But the love for the young couples family kept them side by side.

The family now big and a little stray,
Share the young couples love and it always
Brings the family together to pray.

Through fallen loved ones, sickness and wealth,
They stood side by side to show them the way.

Together they learned the young women’s fate,
And they still stood Side by Side
Even though it was too late.

And as we are here today to pass our sorrow,
We should keep in our hearts, 57 years later
A young women and a young man
Will still be side by side tomorrow.
