50 Years Together

1. On the occasion of our
Golden Anniversary

2. Love’s Journey

Our love, just like people,
Has mellowed with years;
Moulded and strengthened
By laughter and tears.

3. 
What began in a flurry
Of romance and fire;
A whirlpool of feelings
That sprang from desire

4. 
Got caught in the struggle
Of everyday life;
In the ups and the downs
Of a husband and wife:

5. 
Caring for children,
Curing their ills;
Clothing and feeding
And paying the bills.

6. 
Yet strangely love deepened,
To help all rifts heal;
Above anger and sorrow
Came warmth you could feel.

7. 
And so romance lingers In comforting mode;
Love's bound us together,
Through sharing the load.

8. Dedicated To My Husband

The lines of this poem are as true today as
they were when I wrote them 25 years ago
on the occasion of our Silver Wedding
Anniversary.
