24 years...."of beautiful flight!"

*warning - If you are allergic to confessions of 'love' please skip this page*

Tonight

I sneaked out of bed

when I thought you have fallen asleep

....because I wanted to write

something special, something sweet

"Happy anniversary darling.....

......24 years of bliss, and still counting...!"

I google'd for love poems

I looked for you-tube songs

but in the end

I settled for words of my own

"Happy Anniversary dearest....

....thank you for the most wonderful 24 years!"

Tonight, on the eve of our anniversary

I recall - it all began in the summer of nineteen eighty

You accepted my invitation to a circus

we walked the sea front of Portsmouth

like two swans in flight

we felt - being together was just right

we let ocean breeze wiped away our worries

for together, we were free and happy

spreading our wings...

trusting our feelings....

Twenty four years ago today

you were a young and shy bride

I was a lucky man filled with pride

we started our journey - oh, what a flight!~

Tears and laughter, and occassional fights

Trust and Forgiveness, an eternal soul-mates.

Twenty four years that have passed

accumulated memories which made us, us

of fullfilled promises, and undying dreams

of unified wishes for a beautiful ending

of seeing till the end - what we started as friends

through thick and thin -we will share what life brings.

Through all these years, I have known to be true

- It doesn't matter where I go in life…or what I do
Or how much I have...whether it is red or blue

I am most happy when I am with you ! -

Please hang on tight - be with me

for the best....is yet to be

let us find joy in continue flying

for another twenty four years - with all of life's blessings.

I can keep on writing....turning words into poems

but I'd rather rejoin you in bed....sharing in your dreams

With a gentle kiss, let me wish you

"Happy anniversary darling - My love is true!"

*If you managed to read this far and still feel pretty ok - thank you for participating in celebrating our little anniversary jubilation*
