Against All Odds

Christina8

I thought it was a fantasy

That you would love me

Many thought our romance would fail.

It turned out to be a fairy tale!

Against all odds,

We've lasted all of 20 years

through laughter, love and even tears

                      Just great but wait until you can count 58 years - we did it against the odds - me a middle class white boy and my Jeanne a beautiful girl from Burma - thankfully she was welcomed by the family and is still so much loved by them all. So much to be grateful for.

                      • Christina8

                        That's awesome, congrats on your 58 years!

                        Hold that head high and be proud my friend, only those that take on the highs and lows..

                        Knows why that real love like yours makes our spirits glow.

                        Keep shining
                        Happy anniversary for the day and more to come

                        • Christina8

                          Thank you Dan I appreciate that!!

                          A wonderful tribute to a gamble that payed off and a commitment to keep it in place. The poem is short and to the point and well composed.

                          • Christina8

                            Thank you so much sorenbarrett! I really appreciate the compliment. But it never felt like a gamble. But I do love your input!

                          • Paul Bell

                            It'll never last now. lol
                            Bet you feel a little chuckle coming on every time you think about it.

                            • Christina8

                              No not really, I don't think we are on the same page but I do appreciate the read and you stopping by!
