Going back 30 years, wonderful as looking over your shoulder
to admire fields of wildflowers dancing with a Spring breeze;
bittersweet as seeing what can only be touched by memories
the years steal youth and bodies fight wrinkles and disease.
Yet you have cheated time, take my breath away to this day,
awaken middle aged butterflies, fluttering the same way;
as in springtime, our lives before us as a table freshly set,
dining on its newness, dreams of summer, our appetites whet;
not seeing winter nor the what ifs that could get in the way,
or anything to spoil our hope for a bright future,better days.
But never imagined love would take us to heights, as it's led,
higher than eagle over clouds or moon’s silver light overhead;
happy anniversary doll face,thanks for each year of your life,
looking toward the next 30 as your lover,best friend and wife.
