A long happy marriage is well worth celebrating especially when a significant milestone is reached eg 25 or 50 years. A vow renewal is a perfect way to do this, with family, friends and/or original wedding party members present. I would like to share a poem I wrote for just this type of occasion.
A Celebration of Life Together
by Annette Savery
We met when we were young
And we fell for one another,
We realised that we couldn't live
Another day without each other.
We worked hard to earn a living
And to make ourselves a home,
We went through many ups and downs
But we never felt alone.
We were blessed to become parents
And loved our children as much as we should,
We helped them learn and helped them grow
To be the best they could.
We have bid farewell to our children
From the family nest,
We have grandchildren to enjoy
And friends with whom we jest.
We keep ourselves quite busy
But always find time to say,
We love each other with all our hearts
And will til our dying day.
We thank you for sharing this day with us
It truly is a pleasure,
We celebrate a great milestone
And this day we will always treasure.
PS The Wishes Jars I mentioned yesterday are available from some newsagents and gift shops!
