A Silvery Day

You came down the aisle and took my hand, 
We exchanged rings with a vow, so now here we stand.

The first few years we spent our time,
You sharing my reasons;  Me sharing your rhyme.

The children came...binding us closer together,
Our family's boat has sailed in all kinds of weather.

We felt the bumps, the heat, the joys, the toil,
It was all worth it, as we now look back and smile.

Our children grew and we watched them with pride,
As only parents can know...from deep down inside.

As we see them start down life's path on their own,
We remember the work in getting them grown.

Silver marks this day at last,
Has it really been so many years have passed?

In looking back on our love we can truly say,
We wouldn't have wanted it any other way.

For forever young will our hearts be now,
As on that day, when we proclaimed love's vow.

Thanks for the kind words. I wrote this a long time ago, but never put it up on the site.

Thanks, Connie. I think you might get an argument on that last point from her.

Thanks CayCay. I actually did present this to my cousins for their 50th anniversary but retitled it A Golden Day.
