It was fifty years ago Mom <br />That you saw that special smile. <br />He was handsome, tall and debonair <br />He was definitely your style. <br /> <br />She was everything you wanted, Dad <br />Your search came to an end. <br />Your asked her if she’d be your wife <br />So your lives could soon began. <br /> <br />She needed time she said, to date <br />But found no man to compare <br />So you drifted close together <br />Into a love so strong, so rare. <br /> <br />The children came eventually <br />There were good times, and yes, some bad <br />And though your marriage vows were tested <br />You found a love you’d never had. <br /> <br />You laid a strong foundation <br />That many kids grow up without <br />And I’ll take this time to thank you <br />Our home had love, there was no doubt. <br /> <br />And now it seems impossible <br />That fifty years have past. <br />You were blessed with special qualities <br />For a marriage that would last. <br /> <br />As we gather here together <br />We all just want to say, <br />A special “Congratulations” <br />On your Golden Wedding Day.<br /><br />Marilyn Lott<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/your-golden-wedding-day/
