September Song Poem by David Harris

September Song

Rating: 5.0


For my wife
On our forthcoming 37th Wedding Anniversary on the 12th of September.

With the summer closing fast upon us,
we sing our September song.
How wonderful all the years have been,
our trouble no more than a ripple
on an incoming ocean tide.
As I fondly remember that day long ago,
when you consented and became my bride.
The choir sang Ava Maria;
I became the proudest man in the land.
I think I had more nerves than you.
My legs were like wobbling jelly,
and as I recall I almost muffed I do.
The sun was out and stayed that way,
throughout the day with your family and mine,
friends and other relations.
It was a wonderful time.
September sang to us a song,
even long after that day had long gone.

What a wonderfully romantic love poem for your wife, and how full of admiration I am for you both, sticking it out through all those ocean inspired ripples, both the good and the bad! Congratulations to you BOTH, and 37 more...

My heartfelt love and best wishes to you and your wife. Be very proud, that's quite a milestone in this day and age.....There's an old song that goes like...'If a Picture Paints A thousand Words then....' Your poem is that picture of a once in a lifetime love. Have a wonderful, love filled day...I'll be in Illinois and my daughter and I will toast your day with one of their marvelous bottles of wine..... and her husband too if he hasn't left on his business trip...Hell, we'll just toast you for the whole eleven days. Might make the potty training work better.... Love to both of you....marci.xox
