This may be the most inspirational thing I've ever read; including notes. I'd say you are both incredibly fortunate, indeed. Keep on, keeping on ; the same.

One more to go before you reach fifty... fifty years, wow and then some. I believe the lucky ones among us and you and your wife are obviously lucky. Find there forever and ever until death do we part soul mates at a young age and get to enjoy and experience life at its best. There is nothing more glorious than growing old with the one you love. A lifetime of beautiful memories to warm the soul.

I love this poem about your marriage bliss. 49 years married to one person! (lol). You are both very lucky and indeed, blessed. It looks like you are soulmates, you get along well - friendship is just as important in marriage as love. No love can save a marriage when two people constantly butt heads.

Excellent imagery and visuals and the photo of the both of you is beautiful.

Good luck in the contest.

    Thank you Eternal Muse, oh, we've butted heads alright but, no pun intended, we've found it put us in hugging and kissing range. (;-o)

This No-restrictions poem, Forty-nine Years, gives the reader a description of a well-lived-in environment, and then, in the notes, supplies the contents of a rich, well-lived life as well.

What a lovely romantic poem. It's lovely to read of a marriage made in Heaven, and yours undoubtedly is. Your photo is lovely, too. We never know when we say those words in front of God what lies ahead. But good or bad, we all learn from them and with the love of our life standing by our side, we get through. I've been blessed, too. Wonderful poem and a pleasure to read. Good luck in the contest. :)) Sandra xx

    Thank you so much Sandra. It is truly good news when couples understand the strength of their 'Vow'.
    Yes, indeed, made in heaven sustained by heaven.

I love the way you honor your wife and portray her as your queen. There are so many distractions in life that it is rare that marriages last as long as yours has. You both have obviously avoided the distractions and focused on the attractions. I love your explanation of the four women in the author's notes. The legacy you are leaving goes through your family but goes far beyond them. You have impacted us, your readers. Thanks for sharing.

This well-written poem is a great tribute to a marriage that has stood the test of time and still brings joy to both of you. Many changes occur over the years, but true love lives on.
