........Tomorrow my husband and I
will not be celebrating our wedding anniversary.
Not in any conventional sense anyway.
But today we just walked into each others arms
and held onto each other while we cried...
the world has turned dark and scary under our feet
and our souls and hearts are on their knees
but we have each other to cling to
and that may be the best gift
that years of marriage can bring.

Your pain is felt to the utmost. And brings tears to our eyes But at least you have each other And with God's help, That will see you thru, This most terrible hour.
Hi Dear Susan, We all pray for you little daughter Tammy. May she get well soon! May He shower his blessings on your family, so that all of you are able to overcome the pain of the present and move forward. May your love see her through the illness and cure her of it. Best wishes on your anniversary.. from a bunch of prayerful hearts! ! Love, Unnikrishnan
A wonderful poem. Happy anniversary Susan. That's the beauty of a loving relationship that it can give you the comfort n support you need to get through the rough phases of life. I pray all will be well for you n your family. In a time of personal crisis, your poem reflects your courage, dignity n composure. My sincere prayers for your daughter.
Prayers are here Always for those As Dear, As you and daughter are To all of us, Our sister poet, Susan.
I can find an innovative way of celebrating wedding anniversary! Appreciated the lovely spirit of togetherness reflected here in this wonderful poem. Full marks!
This is a beautiful expression of marital love! Storms may threaten to capsize the boat of life....! Tragic occurrences may tear our hearts apart! Disease and illness may take away our sleep, but the thought that there is a shoulder to lean on and share the sorrows and joys of life together is the greatest consolation one can ever have.....! May both of you grow stronger and happier in each other's company!
Aaaahhhh Susan, what you share in this poem...that is living! A perfect 10.
Such beauty, such wonderous beauty is found in the arms of gentle love, from earth and from above.
I like thinking of a prayer as a chain. How can transitory, finite beings orient themselves towards the infinite? Each prayerful hour is a step toward a steady, sustaining connection. Heaven reveals itself in the impulse toward taking that next step.

Know i have already wished you both a Happy 50th Anniversary - but i am doing it again! What you have written here pretty much sums up my husband and i as well. As this world continues to get darker - and our hearts and souls are at our knees as well - we are blessed to have one another - - the best gift of our 50 years as well, dear Susan; and of course you already know that i have been doing a novena for Tammy along with regular prayer. The regular praying for her will never cease as long as there is breath in me. So Bless your 50 years together and God Bless your sweet Tammy! ! ! ! The Divine Physician has got this one, Susan!
