Notes About The Poem

Forever In Your Eyes

Forever together, through good times and bad,
Our pledge to each other when we exchanged our vows.
Right from the moment we met I knew how special you were.
Even now I can’t believe you said YES on
Valentine’s Day when I proposed to YOU
Even though it wasn’t a Leap Year!
Romance was in the air for us on that special day.

I tell you every day that I love you with all my heart. 
Now we have just celebrated our Silver Anniversary.

You are the one I married, the man that I adore,
Our son is testament to our love for each other.
Understanding and listening to your partner is the
Recipe for success, along with a sprinkling of romance.

Even though we have seen difficult times recently
You have been my rock and without your
Emotional support I’d have struggled to get through.
So my darling, remember that I’ll be here for you until the day I die.

Forever in your eyes contest Sponsored by John Hamilton.

Jan thanks for your beauty. I know I have so much more to offer and your poetry and encouragement today has helped me see that even when we write with the flatness of depression in our souls that Beauty in writing will shine like yours if we hold on for the brighter day. Thank you for sharing your brighter day with me.
