Remembrance of that Day

Perusing to perchance

Find along the way

A meaningful and respectful

Remembrance of that day.

*

When despite the clouds of trouble

Blowing into my life

You stood steadfast and resolutely

Forever at my side.

*

For better or for worse

In sickness and in health

Words spoken easily

In love and rude health.

*

But time itself tells a tale

When many years from then to now

Time bends us to its will

But still, you stand strong and never cowed.

*

When I have often bent

To infirmary’s of wealth and health

You have been there all along

With a kind word and helping hand.

*

You have been the guiding light

The love, the strength,

The reason for living,

Helping to make a better life.

*

If ever a man had the luck to live

With an angel by his side

I am he so blessed by the love

And I forever wonder

At the remembrance of that day….

…. You said yes to be my wife.
