37 Years 2003

37 Years  2003

Another year has past since we made our vows
 
 we are now departing from that place where we began our lives

the children we had, the friends we made and the comfort of our classic home 

It’s so disheartening to leave but those we love are far away

awaiting us to strenghen  our kinship for what the future holds

for them if not for us but we’ll be there to share their dreams

of things to come as a family again….as one

Andrea Dietrich April 13, 2018 at 5:53 PM oh now I see on this one is the June date at the end of it!! May you have many more, Ralph.

Andrea Dietrich March 31, 2018 at 4:27 PM wow, so now it must be at least 50. We will be at 50 soon enough ourselves! I enjoyed this one. I saw you had one for 2002? Gotta see what that one was about.

Jan Allison March 24, 2018 at 12:16 PM What a heartfelt poem Ralph, over time our lives move on as do our children. I can relate as we moved to the Isle of Man and now my son has moved back to England, but he is always in my heart no matter how far away he is:-) hugs jan xx
