My 51st Marriage Anniversary

A hand was put in my hand
I remember fifty years back
I still hold that hand firmly
Today unaltered.

Our wedding was accomplished
Exactly fifty one years back
The celebrations of it
Continues this day.

Anniversary is time
To celebrate today’s joy
The memories of yesterday
Hopes of tomorrow

Eloquently penned, Dr. Ram. I especially appreciate the wisdom in the last verse. We do have to celebrate each day, cherish memories of the past and keep hope in our hearts for the future. Great work, my friend. Love, carolyn
