March 25th was our 49 th Anniversary

An Anniversary Poem



Forty nine years ago
We stood hand in hand
Pledging our love
Before God and man

You were so happy
To have me for your wife
I was so pleased to
Take your name for life

Both of us were young
Still in our teens
Filled with such hope
Full of so many dreams

Together we'd travel
On roads that were gold
Our love and devotion
Would never grow cold

But just like so many
From the years of old
Our life wasn't paved
With streets of gold

We had many battles
Shed buckets of tears
Faced each new obstacle
In the forty-nine years

Yet the vows we pledged
Bonded us together like glue
Our commitment to God
Helped us make it through

Happy 49th Anniversary
