Dear Friends

To all our friends that came to call
And lit their candles for the ball
We cannot say but tears did spill
Like rain upon a windowsill.

We thank you sixty times each one
The night was gay and we had fun
And now that we have closed that door
We ask you back when sixty more.

I cannot say enough to those
Who sent their poetry of rose?
It lit a path we knew was there
Lined with thoughts of tender care.

And on the way the petals flew
To dedicate the love we knew.
And we did smile the love and style
Each soul did write in loving wile.

There is no words to say how near
A thoughtful word can bring a peer.

No, thank you, for showing us how it's done,
and why.  [And thanks for the extra bit of Sy today...]

I'll say it again, being married for sixty years is beautiful, exactly how it should be, and it's something I hope that one day I'll have.  You and Isabel are an inspiration, and I wish you a wonderful anniversary...
hugs to you both!

Sy...Isabel....

May you be around so long
that we all can smile.

May your heart beat ever strong
through each the sixty miles.

May your love burn the flame
that each of us may see

For you've given us the game
to play for all eternity...

Once again,  Happy Anniversary to you
both,  and thank you for this beautiful
poem of thanx.....

WOW!!!!!
I am in awe of such a lasting jewel of matrimony,(especially in these fickle times).
Congratulations a million times over! I pray that when my time comes I have that kind of perseverence.

Seymour darling heart Thank you for the delight and love you sprinkle through each of our souls. Isabelle, thank you for lending him to us each day.

When the sun arises with smiling face
Seymour comes to lovingly trace
The days dawn with wordy dew
And fills each day with thoughts anew
His pen draws away the veil
With soul’s truth that will n’er fail
Wisdom he gives in equal measure
Each poem written a golden treasure
A store of thought he gifts here
Enlightened touch, a smile, a tear,
He lays his words on this page
Breaking the bars of ignorance cage
Illume us still on each new day
And Seymour please don’t go away

Thank you for you, you are very special, truly wonderful writing I love it utterly utterly utterly love it. And Congratulations again this is a brilliant achievement, here’s to the next 60.


Love and warm stuff
As always
Mushy

Breathe through the heat of our desire
Thy coolness and they balm
Let sense be dumb let flesh retire
Speak through the earthquake wind and fire

In my heart you'll always be
sweet couple met at other sea.
I can't tell you what you mean to me,
A sweeter couple could never be.

How true those lines on your poem Sy, as just a few words from a pier can bring us so much closer, and may I say, you reel us in like fish in the lake!     Love ya both![This message has been edited by Mysteria (08-27-2002 05:08 PM).]

Thank you for your kind comments on my very first poem, posted today, at Passions- "The Twilight Hour". I wanted to return the favour and as it turned out, the pleasure turned out to be all mine! Your poem was so heart-warming and struck a strident chord in my heart! With all the love you have to give, you both will live to see the 120th!

I didn't see your gay soiree
the summons came too late for me
for I was lying in my bed
with fever flowing through my head
I tossed and turned without a rest
while thoughts of you became hard pressed
to make a rhyme I could not do
to say the things I wanted to
Yet come September you will see
you're in my thoughts of poetry
until that day, please understand
I thought of you and your day grand
couldn't make the dance, but you know
my thoughts were of your shinging show.
perhaps next year it will be done
and I can wish Happy sixty-one.
Congratulations on 60 years of partnership.
Kethry

Here in the midst of my lonely abyss, a single joy I find...your presence in my mind.  Unknown
