A SPECIAL DAY FOR TWO REASONS:

Today would have been my wedding anniversary

As the picture above shows.

It was fifty eight years ago,

My, how the time do go.

 

My brother walked me down the aisle,

A wide smile on my face.

It's a memory one constantly recalls,

A memory one can't erase.

 

It was a lovely day I recall,

Often brought to mind.

Especially now I'm all alone,

Life not so kind.

 

We had thrity five years together,

Until he left my life.

Wonderful years with our family,

Not many tears or strife.

 

THE SECOND REASON TO CELEBRATE TODAY:

You see we got wed on my mum's birthday,

Thought it was very appropriate,

It made her very happy to say the least,

That I can honestly state.

 

The picture above shows us together,

A year before mum and hubby left my life.

Me now a lonely daughter,

Now longer a loving wife.

 

So today I will recall the happiness,

Today's date will bring.

Remembering the love of a wonderful mother and hubby

As I listen to Danny Boy sing.

  1. May you dwell in the joys rather than the sorrow today.

  2. It's good to celebrate our happy moments. My anniversary was earlier this month, and even though my husband isn't alive anymore either, I tried to celebrate the joy I had with him too.

  5. Happy Anniversary, Yvonne! The Wedding Anniversary is not only memorable by itself but more so what transpired in the intervening years.

  7. Your wedding photo is really cute, Yvonne! I've called it lovely before, and it is. But today I really see how young and happy and cute you were on that special day. The second photo is poignant, but it is a reminder of happy times! Thanks for sharing your lovely memories!
