Sandra Haight Poet Couplet

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.
