Our Silver Wedding Anniversary

Twenty five years ago today, A young man woke on his wedding day. As he lay there he thought of the good times to come, Then a knock on his door, cup of tea from his mum. Well son she said, the day has arrived, Very soon you shall have your wife by your side. He thought for a while at the words she just said, Your wife by your side, went round in his head. A smile then appeared across his face, You’re right mum he said, I really can’t wait. When at the church the nerves they took hold, The best man gave a reassuring word. The organ music changed its tune; the vicar gave a nod, A couple that were so in love made vows in front of god. That was twenty five years ago to this very day, The young man that was me, The beautiful vision that stood by my side, Wearing white old borrowed and blue. Is the beautiful vision that is by my side still, The one and only you! For Marie with all my love, Mark
