Comment from ravenblack
Forty years! Congratulations to them both. The form, your Rubiyat sonnet, gave the poem a feeling of majesty. Beginning with the Colorado Sun and ending with the glorious climb- they have made the summit.

Comment from Sandra Stoner-Mitchell
I am sure they loved this amazing gift, Tom, it is a lovely poem. 40 years is a long time, so I can imagine you have been married at least 60 years. My parents had 64 years together, it is lovely when love lasts through all that life throws at you. A pleasure to read, my friend. :) SAndra

Comment from rod007
This is an excellent pronouncement on the constancy of true love and how it survives all the strife and struggles of that at times searing life--your brother and sister in law seemed to have had their fair share of this. Now in their older years they are showering their kids and grand-kids with their warm, pure and powerful love. Well done, Tom.

40 years in a happy marriage sure is an accomplishment. God bless them for an infinity. Now, where do I find me a relationship... Well, great poem. Good flow of rhythm and rhymes. Great visual imagery. Nice.

Comment from Joan E.
You have such a wonderful with using special forms to convey your thoughts and serve your themes. I'm sure all the celebrants will be delighted with your tribute poem. I enjoyed your rhymed couplets along with your "storms" and "climb" metaphors and "knife" simile. I've been married for 43 years and would relish this salute! Many hugs- Joan
