    Miss A!! How nice to see a review from you, and what a beautiful one it is too! Thank you so much for the kind words and golden star. Thanks for helping us celebrate our anniversary too. Now that I've admitted how old I am... I can never put up those ten-year-old pictures again. :"( Eventually, I will get a new one.
    Hugs to you... MissM

What a beautiful tribute to God, and your husband. The beautiful picture of Yosemite I like, we live just a hundred miles or so from there. Good message here about love and commitment.

    Thank you for this great review, George. I didn't realize you lived that close to Yosemite. We are about 155 miles away. I love it there. I truly appreciated all you said about my anniversary poem, and the extra star was such a nice touch too. :p Thanks!

This is a very fine, well-written poem on longevity of your marriage filled with tenderness and affirmation. Many wonderful lines: "The path is rocky, like the road
that you and I have trod," "years have bound us closer than
we ever dreamed could be." Congratulations on your 58 years together.

    Thank you for this very nice review of my poem, and for the congratulations too. I can't believe it has been that long because I'm still 49! LOL One day I'm going to have to face reality I guess. I do appreciate so much your many kind words. MM

    Thank you for this wonderful review. Your kind words meant so much to me. It really doesn't feel like a long time, but it seems long when I see it written down. I do feel richly blessed.

Virtual six! Lovely poem and artwork. The two enhance each other. Light and airy progression, rhythm and flow for a nice read. Wonderful wording. My parents will be married 59 years on May 26, 2015. Happy Anniversary... It nice to see married couples as happy as my parents are and for so long. We are indeed blessed by God even me on my second marriage of almost 9 years; a second chance for me...
Take care and God Bless, Deb

    Yes... I agree heartily with your comments. It is so nice to see happily married couples, especially in this day of easy divorce and so few sticking together. The rewards are so great. Stay with it, and you will be so glad you did. Thank you so much for this nice review and for the virtual six. I appreciate it.

This without a doubt is the best poem I can remember in recent memory. The metaphor of Yosemite and the rock connected with the one you love, an unchanging yet guiding force. loved it! I want your permission to give this to my wife in a card. Stan

    Awwww Stan... you are so poetic, I think you could write a better one, but of course you have my permission to do anything you like with this poem. I'm so honored that you would give it six stars, and say such nice things about it. Thank you very much. You've really made my day with this review. MM

    Thank you for this kind review Ray. I'm glad you read this one, and now you know I must be very, very old. :p (but only in years, not in spirit.)
reply by Domino 2 on 13-Mar-2015
    I must admit I couldn't resist the temptation of adding up the years of the relationship and about when it must have started, MM.

    Darnit - and I thought you were in your mid-thirties. ;-)

    All the best to you, my young at heart and talented friend.

    Ray xx

This is beautifully written, and a wonderful celebration of your 58 years of marriage. Congratulations to you. As you visit Yosemite, you can see comparisons to your life. The path is rocky, as the life of a couple married for so many years may be. Excellent reference to the redwood tree (so sturdy and enduring). Last stanza is particularly lovely. Excellent attention to rhyme and flow in this. Everything comes together to make this outstanding. judi
