Fifty one years married
Wow, some would say
Little do they know
How it came to be that way
Some bumps along the road
That much is true
Without your strong bond
You wouldn't have pulled through
Here you both are
In what feels like a lifetime later
Evolving, growing, that bond only grows greater
Strength, perseverance and refusal to give up
The threads that bind you together
With nothing but love
So grab yourselves a pen and a piece of paper
Do it now, not in a minute or a little bit later
Sit and think hard of what's left to enjoy
Live out this marriage
With laughter and joy
A bucket list perhaps
The things you could never do
The wonders of the world
Are out there waiting for the two of you
