An Anniversary Song < !signature-->You have bestowed upon me greatly those possessions which are stately, in thy thought and deed and gift of soul you’ve blessed me with an ethereal gold. So when I speak thus, “I am yours,” receive it as such, and be assured tho gifts of wealth are at my feet with you I am whole, so complete. A match of my soul to yours as one ~ in our two voices, a song is sung, my words in your heart, yours in mine see love in my eyes, and in God’s design. I will wear my smile with modesty the gift that you’ve bestowed on me so the world will know of your emotion, and see in me sincere devotion. For truly we are staunch soul mates which adversity could not negate and twenty years of mutual bliss resumes each night with your sweet kiss. Ah my love, my heart, my passion’s flame ~ forevermore I shall bear your name. 13 June 2000 ©KRJ Sunshine ~~~Keep your face to the sunshine and you cannot see the shadow. Helen Keller ~~~ [This message has been edited by Sunshine (edited 06-13-2000).] |

~sunshine beautiful sweet heartfelt emotion in this. *wow* i loved it...seems you had some fun writing this one too?! take care. amy  "Don't be dismayed at goodbyes. A farewell is before you can meet again. And meeting again after a moment or a lifetime is certain for those who are friends."

Mike, thank you, glad you enjoyed... Ellie, I may very well do as you suggest, but first I need to find some old, parched paper...LOL... 'Deer, trying my best...these successful marriages take a lot of work, I should know, this is number 2...but I cannot contain the happiness, so just letting it flow forth! Who knows, it might rub off on others?... Sunshine ~~~Keep your face to the sunshine and you cannot see the shadow. Helen Keller ~~~ |

Sunshine - What a wonderful tribute to the institute of marriage. Sounds like you two know how to keep things strong. This is just beautiful, I'm going to remember it for our anniversary....29 years, Oh, showing my age, did I mention that I was married when I was uhhh 8. This one certainly expanded the grin to a wide smile. Bonnie |

Very well done, Sunshine Just as I thought - there's more to love than most of us dream of - and you seem to know about it all - in reality or fantasy - one can not really tell! Again - WELL DONE! Deepak Menon |
