~Our First Wedding Anniversary~




On that day, one year ago
we pledged to love forever
happiness flowed like the rain
we'd conquer all together

your hand in mine, we cut the cake
in front of loving friends
wishing us only the best
and pleasure without end

yet deep in our hearts, lurked a sadness
a question mark, a doubt
a medical diagnosis so grave
could turn our lives inside out

the top of that beautiful wedding cake
sat in our freezer for a year
every day, I would look at it
wondering if I would be here

to share with you today
that piece, now frozen and stale
on our first wedding anniversary
would hope and prayer prevail

tomorrow is our big day
we've made it through our first year
but as I look at the future
I can't help but shed a tear

we will have had one anniversary
we want to have many more
but it will take a miracle
for me to win this war

and so I'd like to thank my dear friends
at Passions In Poetry
if we celebrate again next year
it will be because of your prayers for me
~

Congratulations! Happy First Anniversary to Lyra and Dave. 'Tis a blessed and divine union.

Lyra, your poem is about to be saved in my library of poetry...........Done! Mission accomplished!

If it takes a miracle to get you through this next battle, then it is a miracle  you are going to get! I mean it, Lyra. Make no mistake about this! You are not only going to survive, you are going to thrive! Believe it. Picture the healing  white light of God entering the top of your head and filtering through all parts of your body, killing all the cancerous cells and energizing the healthy ones. Picture yourself as having vibrant good health. You are what you think. Keep thinking positively, dear Lyra!

~ Continually sending you healing light and prayers ~

Linda

Martie...
Thanks so much for your reply...
David and I do celebrate each and every day that we have together.
Time is precious to us now and we feel like we have none to waste.
We celebrate every month on the 23rd and we also celebrathe every month on the 12th, because we met on June 12 of 2000...
I guess that our lives are just one big celebration... but we have such a wonderful love to celebrate

Nancy... thanks so much for your very special words....
I don't even feel sick yet, so I know that I have at least that going for me and I also have always been very healthy with an excellent immune system...
Now, all I need is to get into one of those vaccine trials and I need it to work and if that happens I know I will be okay...

Lyra,
Congratulations!

Forget the rest for one day,
It's now your turn to play.
Then fight for even more,
That's how you'll win the war.

Reality is a dream that has been realized
She dreamed of him
Gentle hands
a giant heart

Life is an opportunity to connect
When she touched his weathered hands
she felt a tendered spirit

Tomorrow is still to come
Believe it to be
Make these moments count
Hope will set you free

Congratulations to both of you.

Lyra~ When God brought you and David together he had a special reason for doing so. That reason is evident in this lovely poem of celebration of marriage. May God bless both of you with many more years of happiness...Paul

Thanks so much, Paul...
I don't know what I would have done if I hadn't met David when I did...

The funny part was... that I had the feeling even that very first time we met... that he was sent to me for a reason...
neither one of us was looking for romance at the time...
I guess fate works in mysterious ways

A year ago David and you were wed,
and became bonded at the heart.
The story I heard of your meeting
seemed planned by God from the start.

One year has now come and gone,
and you've found your comfort zone,
Both of you caring for each other,
never more to be left on your own.

You two are indeed the perfect match,
and even though its been only one year,
I can tell you two are strong indeed,
ready to weather any storm that you fear.

Belated Anniversary Greetings Lyra and David

And soon another anniversary of sorts
of the day you sailed into our port
December 5, a momentous time
when you filled our world with rhyme
of that day, an Anniversary for all
when you followed your heart, and Passions' call

A belated Happy Anniversary
with more to come!
