Still the One

We married young and ventured on our trail, not knowing what our journey would entail to reach our goals- precarious, or rife, together in our rendezvous with life. As we combined our special pathways planned- our winding roads led us to places grand, and with finesse, we blended our unique hopes, heading to a higher mountain peak. We started, hand in hand, to walk our miles with ecstasy or sadness, firm our smiles. A time for us, together- come what may- together, we shall always want to stay. So many years have passed- we are so blessed still on our path- we travel to the crest. A wedding anniversary just passed; for sixty years now, our true love did last.
