Listen to poem:

Wish I Knew You When

Posh bubbly’s chilling
Elegant stemware
Fanciest dishes
The table is set
Two candles are lit
Got your favoured meal
Smells so delicious
You should be home soon
My heart is racing
Like so long ago
Anticipating
Our celebrating
Just like every year
I know you’ll tell me
How you truly wish
You’d met me sooner
Love to hear always
Each perfect detail
That’s when I can see
We are so happy
Truly meant to be
Instead of our tenth
We’d somehow wish to
Ring our sixtieth
Anniversary
