The seventh anniversary

Write a STORY or POEM about a married couple celebrating their seventh wedding anniversary. The story/poem can be of any genre, any plot, but it MUST be about a seventh wedding anniversary, and it MUST include the number seven/7 -- SEVEN times. Bold the numbers (you may use the word seven or the number 7) to make it easier for the judge to find and count the seven uses of the number seven. And be creative with your use of the number seven -- don't just repeat it over and over. The more creative, the better chance you have to win!













It is told that marriages are made in Heaven.This was the case with Sam and Sally.They were a couple happily married for seven years.They had three children,two sons and one daughter.Their sons were a pair of twins ,aged about four,and their only daughter, a lovely,little Princess,was two-year old. They were all very excited to celebrate the seventh anniversary of their parents.Though kids,they had sharp minds and they planned to gift their parents of seven different types.This included a bouquet of roses of seven different colours;including pink,yellow,white,lavender,peach,champagne and orange;excepting black.In return,their parents had promised them a yummy dessert (As you like it) of seven different ingredients including luscious ,red cherries and rich chocolate sauce.This time their parents had decided to celebrate for seven days and this was what made their kids happy.

        The day had arrived with the promise of "Celebrations Galore".Even Nature seemed to celebrate their anniversary ;as their kids watched the palette of seven beautiful colours in the sky  from their window.

        Sally was still sleeping.The kids made a loud noise to rouse their Mom.She then woke up.She was not feeling well.She was feeling an acute pain in her right breast.She tried to ignore it but the intolerable pain to reveal the fact to her husband.Sam was deeply perturbed hearing this.Suddenly,she noticed a small lump on her right breast.Then she remembered that ,a few days ago while travelling in a bus,she had experienced a collision with a person,who had deliberately pushed her.This had temporarily caused her pain in her right breast but afterwards she had forgotten about it.

        Her husband decided to take her to the doctor.They finally reached the doctor's chamber with their hearts beating fast and apprehensive thoughts in mind.Doctor had asked them for a biopsy.The whole day passed with fearful thoughts in mind.Their kids were bawling,for all their plans had fizzled out.

        The evening came.With hearts pulsating they collected the sealed envelope of the report from the counter.They finally presented it to the doctor who opened it.He looked at them for some time and refused to say anything.Unable to tolerate the silence,Sam asked him what had happened.The doctor replied in a grim voice,"I am sorry Mr.Sam.Your wife has advanced breat cancer, and she has only seven more months on this earth."
