Anniversary Collabration

Today on our wedding anniversary we get together and write this poem, my beloved wife and I. Anniversary collaboration It’s forty nine years now Since we wed on that day But dear, I still love you In the grandest of ways I’m glad that we married I love you so much I hope you still love me Though I’m greying a touch. Yes I will still love you Though you have gone grey We will keep on loving In the same lovely way Our lives till forever They will be entwined Forever my darling I will still be thine. I thank thee my angel For I could not live Without you beside me You have much to give I give you my heart And I give you my soul Each moment I’m with you My world feels so whole These forty nine years You have gave me such bliss If you were not with me How you I would miss I thank you for giving Me your heart, and soul I’m glad that I get you To feeling so whole. Vepe collaboration 12 June 2014.

Kelly thank you so much for the comment, yes it has been a long time for a couple to stay together, doesn't happen much these days, but I think they don't try to work at it and that is the answer, anyway my dear take care.........Vera...........

Dear Vera, Congratulations on 49 years of marriage!! How wonderful that you still have the same love after all this time. Never did find another after my husband died, but it is good to know others are enjoying so many years of happiness. May your joy last eternally! Love, Carolyn

Carolyn thank you so much for the comment, yes we still have the same love now but even better as years go on, the first few years of married life is hard because you are getting to know each other, then after a few years you get bored with each other then if you last that long in latter years t becomes total bliss, So sad about your husband but I hope you are still happy, take care............Vera.................

Thank you so much Anne, yes 49 years is a long time, not may marriages make even twenty these days so I guess it is a milestone, mind you we have had our ups and downs like most couples but we got through them, we are too old to have ups and downs now so we live just peacefully.......Take care.................Vera..........................

Lucilla thank you ever so much for that very touching comment, yes of course we have had our up's and down's over the years like everyone else but do you know what, we eventually got to the stage where nothing else matters just us two and yes I agree that is real love, we have a wonderful life together, thank you once again my dear and take care..........Vera.................

OOOOhhh so wonderful!!! Congrats to both of you for putting up with each other that long, :) Really that is amazing, my generation gives up so easily, it is hopeful to know love lasts forever. Hugs for both of you and lots of love, you two are amazing!

Vera Duggan

Casarah that is the trouble with this generation, I seem to think that people seem to jump in quick to marry and really don't get to know each other, but even then sometimes it doesn't matter, anyway we have weathered it through and our love is stronger than ever, thank you my dear for the lovely comment, Take care and take care of that beautiful little girl.............Vera..............
