Ode to my wife – 51st Wedding Anniversary

It seems like yesterday,

My 51st wedding anniversary profoundly celebrates enduring love, resilience, and shared triumphs. It marks over half a century of unwavering commitment, where two people have faced life’s highs and lows. Such a lasting bond goes beyond romance, rooted in understanding, compromise, and mutual respect—challenges—whether disagreements, health struggles, or unexpected changes—become opportunities to grow stronger together. Every triumph, from raising a family to achieving dreams or simply growing old side by side, is a testament to their dedication. This milestone reminds us that true love isn’t just about the joyful moments but also about weathering the storms and emerging even stronger.

I woke up, not knowing what to say, 

I knew how I should feel, 

The answer to me clear, 

I do remember.

As clear as yesterday.

I wish that I could say

This things to you today,

Do you remember?

Fifty-one years, we made it through, 

Hand in hand me and you,

Through laughter, every tear, we’ve found our stride.

We found our gear

Do you remember?

I wish that I could say,

This things to you today,

Do you remember.?

From May’s gentle blooms to its rainy afternoons,

In the dance of life, it’s been me and you, 

Together we’ve come through, 

Do you remember?

It  seems like yesterday,

We celebrate today, 

Do you remember,

This great day 

Oh, this journey we’ve known,

In the light, in the shadow,

Through the highs, through the lows,

We’ve lived, we’ve loved, we’ve grown.

From the tender whispers that you give, 

Your love for me is clear,

To the silent nights,

You get from me, 

In every heartbeat, in every tear.

We’ve carved our story nontheless, 

Through all the ugliness, 

And all the mess,

Do you remember, 

That time in our lives..

With each passing moment, our love has grown.

Through every storm that dared to show,

We held on tight, we made it through.

And as the seasons change, for me and you,

Our love remains strong and true,

Do you remember?

So here’s to us, to memories we’ve made,

To the love that never fades, to the bond that won’t degrade.

Fifty-one years, and still we stand,

Hand in hand, heart in heart,

Our promise still it stands,

Do you remember,

That day in our lives.
