Thirty One and Going Strong

It's happy anniversary again
thirty one years seems not long
but so thankful for all your love
every echo within makes a great song

Thirty one and going strong
looking forward to many more
together as one sweet union
We shall see what's on store

This past years been hard
but soon be on better plain
as we look on to our Lord
His plans are never in vain

Thanks for our yesterday's
our tomorrow's are in His love
together many more to celebrate
my love constantly on your nameplate

( Today is Christine and my 31st wedding anniversary so this is written to celebrate that fact in dedicating this piece to my lovely wife  for all her love and care. )

I am so glad I found this poem, Gordon. First let me congratulate you and your wife on your 31st wedding anniversary. Don't know why I haven't seen your poems before-- simple yet elegant. You are a master of rhymes. I am going to follow you --so I will always see your poetry.

Thanks Vijay for your kind comments and for your congratulations on our anniversary, also thanks for following me and for telling me you are doing so. Its confusing when someone follows you on PS as PS only send you an email to say you've got a new follower but don't tell you who it is. Have a blessed day, Gordon
