Forty years of bliss and non bliss how do
you ever try to marinate all the non harmony
moments, to tenderize its foundation

By standing by each other and always knowing
irreguradless of how hard the situation may be for
the other, the tomorrows of our souls will mend
the broken rainbow and make our days shine
once more

Waiting each night for your return, to say how
was your day, is only a small part of my love
and how we managed to withold all the raging
seas and weather them to an island of tranquility

Thank you for the most wonderfull forty years of
my life, without you, my soul would not be in existance

Happy Anniversary and know, I would do it all, all over
again........

To Tom, on our anniversary of our love.......

Bonnie Collins
