For Me This Year Has Been a Special Mountain
For me this year has been a special mountain,
Incandescent on its sunlit peak.
Revisiting its rich, eventful days,
So full of love, is one more gift from you.
There is no darkness on our lovely mountain
As I gaze upon my life from this first peak.
Nothing I imagined matches these days
Needing, wanting, loving, having you.
In earlier years I thought of this first mountain,
Visioning the vista from its peak.
Each thought was there, even in those days:
Ripples in the darkness without you.
So shall I love you on this yearly mountain
As I cast a quick glance backward from its peak,
Recalling the long innocence of days
Yearning for what I now have in you.
Dinner For Two
By Allan James Saywell
The man sat down at the table
There were two candles
Two crystal glasses
A single red rose
He ordered one meal
He poured one glass of wine
He appeared happy in his own company
He took a card from his jacket
Laid it in the empty place
I said to him
Sir is everything alright
He replied, yes everything is fine
The dinner is for my rose marie
It is our anniversary
I promised her that i would dine
In this place, on every anniversary
He raised his glass
Then he said, to my rose marie
On this our anniversary
Sonnet: To My Wife
By Dr John Celes
Our marriage comes just once a life-time dear;
Yet, anniversaries could come often;
Our sacred bond must instill love, not fear,
And help us reach our goal, which is Heaven.
Why brood over the future God intends?
’Tis waste of precious time in worrying much;
Why bother when our needs God well attends?
Let’s thank the Lord for his Fatherly touch.
Let’s keep our lives God-centered and proceed;
Avoiding sins, we must perform good deeds;
God will provide whatever things we need;
Let’s not worry if suffering exceeds!
Each Marriage Anniversary must show,
God’s love and help our love on earth to grow!
Promises
By Jane Shewmaker Hale
You promised me the moon and stars when you professed your love.
You'd climb the highest mountain, shout it from above.
Jewels, they're be no end to these.
For furs I'd never pine.
The largest of the castles, these things would all be mine.
Promises are precious things, but, love and youth are bliss.
I didn't need the moon and stars.
We settled for a kiss.
Time has passed and love has grown. Let's see, just for fun.
How many were you promises. How many have you done.
The kids are stars. You're my moon in our sky of love.
The mountain is the pile of bills you keep our heads above.
The jewels on my left hand. The most precious one I've seen.
If our home were any bigger I'd never keep it clean.
My memory say that leaves the furs. With one I'd be content.
Our Anniversary's coming soon.
But dear! I'd never hint. He said. "Happy Anniversary." and, he handed me a note.
I opened it in wonder. This is what he'd wrote.
The fur has not been made to match our budget, dear.
How about another kiss? Better luck next year.
