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
