Note: This is actually a photo of my daughter and her daughter to which I added the words.

Hope it works...

Oh, boy! It works in every possible way! I think you meant adding the words to the picture - and as you can see it does, but WHAT a lovely effect in totality! Your daughter and granddaughter are both very beautiful and so is the poem and so are the visual effects of the blending of both. Your daughter looks so much like your wife in the younger (even the older, but especially the younger) picture in that poem of yours about having been married for 37 years and still being in love - its name eludes me for the moment.

This is so beautiful that breath eluded me during the read also. Marge Tindal, a member here before she passed away, used to do "Poetigraphs" she called them. She would have loved this as much as I do. There's a page on my website dedicated to her, if you'd like to visit.

This is so deeply poignant, dear Jimmy!

The infinite love is felt.

And congratulations on this accomplishment, words and picture, or better words in picture.

Love and hugs.

Stunning picture and the poem gives love such meaning. You are a fortunate man indeed and obviously one who knows and loves his ... "fortune".
