Your Golden Wedding Day Poem by Marilyn Lott

It was fifty years ago Mom
That you saw that special smile.
He was handsome, tall and debonair
He was definitely your style.

She was everything you wanted, Dad
Your search came to an end.
Your asked her if she'd be your wife
So your lives could soon began.

She needed time she said, to date
But found no man to compare
So you drifted close together
Into a love so strong, so rare.

The children came eventually
There were good times, and yes, some bad
And though your marriage vows were tested
You found a love you'd never had.

You laid a strong foundation
That many kids grow up without
And I'll take this time to thank you
Our home had love, there was no doubt.

And now it seems impossible
That fifty years have past.
You were blessed with special qualities
For a marriage that would last.

As we gather here together
We all just want to say,
A special "Congratulations"
On your Golden Wedding Day.
