45th Wedding Anniversary

Many a moment, and many a day
                   
                          Through years of joy and    
                               
                                come what may

                      A promised vow, barely eighteen

                         Through many years of life

                                       has seen

                             Back on that day in '77

                    I hoped for years of simply heaven

                      Our little home was dear to me

                          Yoked in loves matrimony

                  And when storm clouds came in the night

                       We weathered through and hung

                                        On tight

                       Those were no simple words, that vow

                          To promise you and then allow

                           A world of storm to rip apart

                           Me, nor you, a sacred heart

                        Beneath the stars or beaming sun

                                 Our heartbeats beat 

                                   My love, as one

                               Passing thresh holds,

                                    joys and tears

                              To live as one throughout

                                        The years

                               Through decades as

                                      Man and wife

                             Through celebrations, joys

                                         Or strife

                          Our love is sacred, and it's true

                                    My heart beats

                              "Sweetheart, I love you!"

                                   You're cherished

                                 And so dear to me
                                       
                                 Happy Anniversary!

Thank you, Bill, I appreciate you dropping by with your comment and congratulations :) I remember being so naive to what marriage really was, but the night before we got married, I realized, this is for real, this is a vow! Holding on to a promise of forever got us through the hard times and let us rejoice hand in hand in the good times :). Marriage is like the Grand Canyon, with depths and heights, with the Colorado of life meandering and shaping it all. :)

Such a lovely poem. When you are completing 45 years, I have completed 43 years. When we look back, we can feel happy and proud that we have kept our marriage vows in tact. Through thick and thin we have been together. A beautiful celebration of marital love. Wish you dear friend, many more years of blessed togetherness.
