On the Occasion of Our 21st Anniversary

(dedicated to my wife Kathy)

•

L ight snow fell
midst the balloons’ ascent
as our new life began
21 years ago

how beautiful you were

as we stood
surrounded by family and friends
we did not know what lay ahead
on our journey of life

we knew only of our love
and our desire
to make the journey together

now here we stand
more that two decades down that road
so many memories
so much that was exciting
so much unexpected
some we wish had never happened

but my journey with you
long may it continue

behind us
laughter and tears
rough road and smooth
so much to discover still ahead

together
we can make our future even better
we but need to know that’s true
as we knew it then

that day I stood with you
21 years ago
and shared my love for you
with those we loved
promising to stand by you
through all that was ahead

and here am I today
still by your side
still captivated by you
still in love with you

here I will remain
through all of our today’s
and all of our tomorrow’s

I was then
am now
and will forever be
your soulmate

awkward as I can be at times to show it
from my heart – I want you to know it

I do love you

    Congratulations to you both!

  2. Indeed CONGRATULATION to you Rob and your dear wife…..nice when relationships can keep Relating……and big thanks also for your work here..

  3. Oh this is nice! Our 20th anniversary is in December – seems like yesterday, but when I consider all the things that have happened in those 20 years we have a LOT of history LOL.
