Anniversary Poem

To My Sweet, Sweet Parents on Their 50th Wedding Anniversary

Langley Cornwell
I saw your face so long ago
How could we know our love would grow?
Times have changed
But love remains
Let us drink champagne

A kiss, a sigh, I am your bride
The path of life, right by your side
Times have changed
But love remains
Let us drink champagne

Through ups and downs and thick and thin
My rock, my light and my dear friend
Times have changed
But love remains
Let us drink champagne

We share a past and so much more
You are the one I still adore
Times have changed
But love remains
Let us drink champagne

Somehow we managed to be here
My love, my mate of 50 years
Times have changed
But love remains
Let us drink champagne

    Yes, quite something. My parents made it to 46 years - until my Dad died. He seemed to get more romantic the older he got!

    I love this! My hubby and I have been married only 14 years, but I look forward to our 50th! Beautiful!

    Oh, this is beautiful, and I commend your parents (like my and my wife's grandparents; @ 63 years each) for showing this 'easy out' world that anyone can beat the odds! I hope that's where Luchrisa and I will end up in 2044! Most excellent tribute, and I hope they loved it as much as you obviously love them!
