For Seasoned Love…

Sometimes there's too many thoughts for one poem!

 Anniversary Poem #2

Autumn fell around you

Now winter has found you

And Wisdom has crowned you

With silver-white sheen

The seasons pass quicker

Where sorrows bloom thicker

Than in summer’s flicker

Or spring’s virgin green

Love’s vows still unbroken

So long ago spoken

Worn, joined hands, the token

Of love’s youthful ‘yes’

How precious the measure

Of Beauty’s best treasure

Through both pain and pleasure

Remained faithfulness

Beneath heaven's spillage

And earth's common tillage

And childhood's brief village

We watched as we grew

Where what seemed so natural

We learned, was a humble

And hard-fought example

Of love kind and true

Thank-you, father, mother

For living your Honor

With love for each other

And God; may He bless

You now and forever

May each day together

No matter the weather

Bring true happiness
