Sixty years of marriage
Where did that time go
It just seems like yesterday
How it passed so quickly, we don't know
We remember fun dates and wild dreams
The wedding, a treasured memory
It was the beginning of a beautiful song
And a melodious harmony
What right did we have to think that LOVE
Would find its way to you and me
And that it would last so long
For us and our family
In the early years, the children came
But we blinked and they were gone
Then some returned with our grandchildren
And we wondered what took them so long
The years have been very good to us
Our song gets more beautiful with time
And the family is there to sing along
With their harmonies and rhyme
Sixty years together
And together we still sing
A lifelong duet of love
Let the song in the diamond ring

Poet's Note: I was reminded this week that two very special people to me celebrated their Diamond anniversary this week. I have no clue what it is like to be married for sixty years. What a journey that must be... I can only imagine... and in that imagination, write a poem for them.
Music has been central to their life and their family. I can imagine their life and their marriage as one life long song... varying melodies, changing harmonies, different tempos, beats and rhythms... but one beautiful song.
