On Our 50th Anniversary Poem by Sara Militello

I was working in a hair styling shop. A woman was getting a manicure from my boss and I heard her say her husband was taking her out that evening to celebrate their 50 Anniversary. I sat in my chair and wrote this poem. I gave it to her as she left and told her she could use it in any card she would surely give her husband before the evening was over. She liked it enough to tell me she surely would include it in her card to her husband.

Before this I had not seen her husband in that shop but he became one of my customers until I retired several years later, from my own shop. They were a delightful couple.
