Fifty Years
(happy anniversary Marilyn and Larry)
By Franklin Price
8/20/2016
Fifty years is not so long
Sometimes only yesterday
Said “I do” to your best friend
Put on that ring to stay
No doubt you love each other
No one else would ever do
Congratulations on the fifty
I'm so proud of both of you
I know it wasn't easy
On every day that passed you by
Sometimes there were storm clouds
To darken up the bright blue sky
You listened to the thunder
Kept the lightning strikes away
Weathering storms were part of getting here
As was the perfect Springtime day
My hope and prayer for both of you
Is that you move on happily
You've been so long together
That you're almost family
