A Silvery Day

You came down the aisle and took my hand, We exchanged rings with a vow, so now here we stand. The first few years we spent our time, You sharing my reasons; Me learning your rhymes. The children came...binding us closer together, Our family's boat has sailed in all kinds of weather. We felt the bumps, the heat, the joys, the toil, It was all worth it, as we now look back and smile. Our children grew and we watched them with pride, As only parents can know...from down deep inside. As we see them start down life's path on their own, We remember the work in getting them grown. Silver marks this day at last, Has it really been so many years past? In looking back on our love we can say, We wouldn't have wanted it, any other way. For forever young will our hearts be now, As on that day, when we promised love's vow.
