Notes About The Poem

Love's cornerstone set
Forty-five years together
Dear wife of my youth
Our sons, their wives, our lives full
May love's embrace continue

~ to the moon and back ~

Forty-five years ago today
I walked down the aisle with a smile
My blushing young bride by my side :)

To My Bride of Forty-Five

Love's cornerstone set
Forty-five years together
Dear wife of my youth
Our sons, their wives, our lives full
May love's embrace continue 

~ to the moon and back ~
