Today is actually our 41st, but I thought I would re-blog last years. Happy Anniversary to us!
40 Years of I Do’s
He said will you, and I said I will;
we said I do, and we did
for years.
We said I do through the death of a child and a motorcycle wreck;
through a son’s car crash and a son’s heart crash;
through disappointments and unmet expectations,
and surpassed pleasures,
through lots of tears—from both laughter and pain.
I forgive, I love, I do.
We said I do through losses,
job changes, friend changes, geography changes, and physical changes,
baby boys and grandbaby joys;
and the years piled higher, one on another, as the I do’s piled higher still.
Our hair is thinner—mine more than his.
Our waists are thicker—mine more than his.
But for all the time gone by in a breath,
we said I do,
and we have said it for 40 years.
Happy Anniversary!
Thank you!
HAPPY ANNIVERSARY to and your husband!!! 🙂
I sure enjoyed your poem of such an occasion and with it, the memories that you’ve traveled throughout the years of ‘I do’. What a true demonstration of commitment to each other and the love in which you began your journey….’I do’, means, ‘I do’.
CONGRATULATIONS and GOD BLESS you as you continue your journey together throughout your days!
Thanks! I think I’ll keep him. 🙂
Too SWEET!! You made me chuckle! 🙂
