Anniversary Poem - To My Husband On Our 50th Anniversary

by Amanda Tams
(England)

We’ve been together fifty years now
Through many a laugh and furrowed brow
When you asked me if I would be your wife
You promised back then it would be for life
The only promise you ever kept
Since the day me from my feet you swept
You come in late- the pub does call
You never shave at weekend-not at all.
I have to remind you to put your teeth in a glass
An evening out dancing you always will pass
Your skin wrinkled and eyes are dim
Your hearings shot and you don’t do the gym
But fifty years have now passed my love
It seems just yesterday
We said “I do” to each other on that special day
I love you no more than I did back then
You have always been my King amongst men
I know I have aged as time passed by
You never told me even with a sigh
Happy Fiftieth Anniversary to us my love
We fit together as a hand in glove.
