Notes About The Poem
My husband and I will be together dating and marriage next month 52 years..

Acknowledgement

Next month, March, our young love will be alive
For one-half century plus two years; our love
Has stood through test which cause most to crash dive.
Our paths have gone to places undreamed of

Paths that we would not have traveled
One not very beaten down or worn path
Many of these journeys, we would have canceled
And would have left really fast.

God had a plan to weave us together
Creating unusual tapestry
On those grassy paths storms we have weathered
Drawing closer, love lasting, ancientry

Young love when first begun, hope, excitement
Half-century together love's acknowledgement
