(c) 2017 Edward York.
We've spent long days together,
And those have turned to years.
We've shared moments of laughter,
And even shared some tears.
We have faced our days with fondness.,
And fought a similar foe.
We've traveled down a rugged path,
All covered up with snow.
You have always been my anchor,
The voice I've sought to hear.
The one I asked my questions,
When the answers weren't so clear.
You have been the voice of reason,
As other shouts are heard.
I may listen to them mumble,
But I give you the final word.
You have always answered squarely,
No need for sugar coats or lies.
I knew they all were honest,
I could read it in your eyes.

Very good poem. Reminds me of my marriage, though not as many years as yours. May you have many more years together!!
Thank you, yes it is 45 years for me. That is truly a blessing.
Lucky you found your true love. It is such a blessing.
I feel pretty lucky.
A good write laser.
It's easy with a good subject, but you know that already. 😀
Thanks L.
lasergraph, after 41 years with my wife I can truly appreciate your excellent poem!
Time seems to smooth out the rough edges. It does make me look forward to whatever days that are left.
Looks like you found a keeper Ed. Great tribute to your wife. I'm sure she loves this poem.
I did find a keeper. We were just kids when we met, we grew up together.
Almost sounds like the life I could have had. But I guess it wasn't meant to be. But I'm very happy for you and your wife Ed.
Very good write and a very strong write. We celebrate 36 years today, not bad for a second marriage for both of us.
Now days anything over a week is good. It sounds like you made it work.
We sure did, and it still is.
