See us.
Two hearts as one.
Still laughing through the rains;
Fifty-years growing together.
Je t'aime.

Warm glow on the horizon,

an anormal film

no hollywood fights
love triangles or monsters...
no thing as absurd

possible fiction
a reversed reality...
was worth a tear 

all the worlds a stage
and we are but some actors...

we painted rainbows
you and I,
'cross our golden sky;
one by one the years
rolled away,
but a vow,once made,
still lives on,
brightly,as before;
this pot of treasure
worth much more than gold;
riches,untold
to sustain us,as
we grow old;
this love,grows not cold   

Note:Kathy and I celebrate our 50th anniversary this 
month...

Perfect Excuse

We finally found a perfect excuse
50th anniversary and going on a cruise
On Holland America well known
For being a place we call our own
No longer ourselves will we abuse.

Leaving this morning for two weeks
See lovely beaches and tall peaks
Best views that we ever had
And going on we are very glad
Seagulls sang songs through their beaks.

Thank you, for my birthday wishes
That was from far and wide
Thank you, for the kind gestures
That warmed my heart and made me smile
Thank you, for the blessings I received
That made my eyes want to cry
Thank you, for each word that made me explode
Thank you, for reminding me of my self worth
Thank you for the respect and admiration you have all shown
Thank you, for making my 50th Birthday one of a kind....

Her bedding’s a damp soggy sight
Kay’s bathed in sweat night after night
She’d discovered the cause
It’s the darned menopause
Now fifty the timings just right!

 

For Kay – happy 50th! ( I have never met this lady but was asked to help write 50th birthday poems for her ... I asked her friend for some info to work on and night sweats was one of the things I was told)

President called Amtrak Joe.
Amtrak 50th anniversary.

Party they did throw
Which would be for Amtrak Joe
To Capital go.

what they did deplore
Those who Way too Early ignore
Called her a big bore

did have dignity
Way Too Early want to see
Go on shopping spree

when we saw new dawn
we turned Way too Early on
pretty soon had gone

a pretty scene of shore
Saw Way Too Early more and more
When we heard waves roar...

Three Times Three Horn Haiku

My perfect poems rhyme
Always best all of the time
And still so sublime.

Each poem is my best
Better than all of the rest
By God were all blest.

Love wife and still do
Only one I ever knew
Who makes dreams come true.

Not only is this 5-7-5, it also
ends in words that rhyme with
other line. Last part of Horn
Haiku has five words that
rhyme. Jim Horn

August 27th was our 50th
Anniversary....

The boys were sitting all around the table with McGee
As he took to task to pour the glass of every man he'd see

"It's my anniversary" he would boast and say it loud
"50 years of married bliss" He shouted to the crowd

Remembering his first one he lean toward good Ole' Finn
"A trip to Hawaii, was the gift I gave her then"

Finn said "After 50 years what gift could she now lack ?"
McGee just smiled and softy said," I think I'll bring her back"...

The party is on, firecrackers ignited,
Bottles of bubbly beverages opened,
Friendly touches exchanged
As customs prevail in a society.

An anniversary to remind us of mortality,
New resolutions made, new pages turned,
It is not about enjoyment, relief or celebration,
I think as it is about optimism,

To create joy out of nothingness,
To create hope for better times in future.
It is intoxicating wine for the soul,
To look at the balance sheet of life....

“Together”
Written: by Tom Wright
January 2015

Let this picture be the symbol 
Of our fifty years together.

It hasn’t been from always agreeing
For opposites seldom do,

Or that we haven’t been disappointed 
For we certainly have,

But we accepted each other
The good, the bad, the ugly, 

God put us together 
For better or worse,
In sickness and in health. 

Therefore it is only fitting
The death of one, 
Should separate us 
Temporarily.
