After years of togetherness, nearly three-score
I pen the Saga of being with you.
Of living and loving as never before,
And learning of freedom, and happiness too.




With resilience, consistence, and outright charm
You tenderly made me your wife.
Wrapping me tight in your youthful warm arms
You became to me 'Love of my Life'.




You epitomise gentleness, quietly contained;
Yet evoking a passion so rare.
'Light of my heart', our ties have remained
Evergreen, and will always be there.



Love is a spirit-fruit, not caged in Time.
And as such it remains ever new.
Love's buoyed up our tears, made our poem to rhyme.
It's a fairy tale really come true.



Partner and lover, husband and friend, with
You I have laughed, cried and prayed.
Age has not dimmed our song of romance
For with Eternity love is inlaid.
