Akkina Downing Poet Free verse

Happy 25th Anniversary

Today marks the 25th year of our marriage.
Although 25th years may seem like a 
short time to others.
But nevertheless- love is not measure by a period of time, but in timeless moments.
And our 25th years have been the wondrous and blessing years to be glad.
Darling, we score more than others did!
A few milestones down and many more 
to beat... LOL! Sure we can!
To reminiscing on how this day started its beginning of infinity, 
Darling your smile is forever the light of my heart my soul.
The joy of all the ups and downs we've had that made us even more appreciative and love deeper- for those we are very grateful! 
Year after year we're making more memories that are priceless and so precious we'll treasure them to infinite length- for those are the treasures to our hearts!
May we continue always, to take time and pursue each other to understand one's need
And may we continue to fulfill our dreams to a length of time.
Darling, thank you a thousand times for being my champion of heart,
My soulmate
I love you beyond words can express 
but you already know- "Forever is how long I love you!"

Happy 25th year anniversary darling...




A friend asked me to write her a poem to her husband of 25th years of marriage. She loved it and told me I should post it here on PS...
