50 Years Ago

Dear Mom and Dad
Our family is full of joy today 
You’re celebrating 50 years together 
The four of us just want to say 
We thank you every day for helping us 
Survive each sun and stormy weather 
  
You’ve always given us a helping hand 
With comfort or advice, you’ve always been there 
For us, and never thought about it twice 
Through thick and thin you’ve shared with us 
Your experiences and wisdom, though we might 
Not have understood or sometimes made a fuss 
Today and always we must confess our love and devotion 
  
Dear lord, we thank you for this day 
And all the blessings you bestow 
Upon this couple who were wed 50 years ago 
Thank you Mom and Dad for this existence 
We thank you here and now for your protection 
We love you more than you will ever know 
And will always thrive with your affection.

Hi Carmen. This is a great gift for your mom and dad that comes straight from the heart. It sounds like God has blessed your family and given your parents fifty great years. Very nice to share your feelings and love. I enjoyed this poem.... Robert.

Fifty years is an amazing achievement any way you look at it. A nice poetic honorarium.
