Notes About The Poem

Blessed Treasures

Blessed Treasures

What blessed treasures in our kingdom of love thrive.
A love of four decades has grown and is still alive.
We have beaten the odds of half of marriages that end.
We may disagree at times, but always seem to mend.

I feel endearing love shared with me each and every day.
You calm my fears to instill hope, you always find a way.
Fatherhood fits you as a comfortable old worn glove.
Our children have always known the guidance of your love.

Now retired and at home, as we reach our golden years, 
Wrapped in youthful memories with wistful, joyful tears
We sustain each other through sickness and in health
And realize that our union contains the greatest wealth.

Timothy Hicks May 11, 2020 at 12:05 PM Very few relationships last so long - but it's indeed a treasure when it happens and worth holding on to! "Fatherhood fits you as a comfortable old worn glove". Endearing! Several people in my family have had relationships that lasted for several decades, only to end in divorce. Always seems so strange to me.
