An Anniversary Poem

Fifty years have come and gone

Since you said your ‘I Do’s’

Confessing your love-becoming as one

Happy and blessed with love so true.

Joy came that precious day long ago

When God joined you as bride and groom

You have always been able to show

How smiles can light up a room.

Blessed by the Father to be Mom and Dad

Sheltering and caring with each new day

Giving all the love that you had

To guide, to teach, in your own special way.

Times were sometimes hard and tough

Others were sweet and good

Through everything your love was enough

You always did the best that you could.

Today as these sweet memories come back to you

With recollections of how your love stood the test

Have a ‘Happy Anniversary,’ and remember this too

God, along with all of us,  do wish you only the best.
