Happy Anniversary Poem - The Fireworks Still Happen

by Julie Brush
(England)

I was just sixteen when I met you
Naive and young and sweet.
You were nineteen and so confident
And you swept me off my feet.
We first went out on Guy Fawkes night
Where the fireworks crackled and hissed
And by the warmth of the bonfire flames
We smiled and hugged and kissed.
It's been thirty six years since our first date
And each year I love you more
And thinking back on the life we've had
I'm happy to the core.
So darling on our anniversary day
I want to express to you
That you are my life and you are my love
And you make the fireworks still happen too!
