The Anniversary Poem

A moment punctuated by a kiss - takes me back to when I was young A smile that I wear with my finest outfit Eyes that seek out the sunlight on a cloudy day The flowers that grow outside our windows Dancing to our favorite songs The birds are soaring overhead The life I chose to be by your side When you needed me most, I am there. We hear the sounds of church bells How they ring and bring us back To the Day - we said our vows The highest highs and the lowest lows We have made it through them all Holding hands - we made our promises Lace and silk are soft to the touch Eyes meet and we are thankful There is a star That we gazed upon and our arms reached out in an embrace We danced underneath the stars All of our lives - we stood together On the rock of our devotion Where it could not be swept away The wise couple built their house upon the Rock They pray to God that those in Heaven could see them now Smiles punctuated by a kiss A moment that we will never forget Because we are together Then, now, and always Forever
