Do you remember clearly this day, exactly thirty eight years past,
Two unknowns bound in holy wedlock, their hearts beating fast !
What it felt then to give up freedom for this lifelong relationship,
Many years later, it’s been hard fought battles and deep friendship!
What new can I say to you – multi-tasking comrade, companion, wife
Except that it’s now time for a new beginning to rediscover life !
Let us not be driven by handsets or clocks whether they ring or chime,
Go for drives, runs, walks together, whenever you take out the time !
Let us grow young and bold again, as we become heavier and older,
Explore exotic places like Iceland, as we did when younger and bolder !
And then there’s our little One for whom our hearts are always yearning,
What can we give grandchildren except love and the joy of learning !
Aging is about becoming more noble, forgiving and gentle – as a dove,
Staying healthy and happy with each passing day, is a grace from above !
