Golden Years

Days melted into
golden years
ripe as peaches
dripping down the
chin
Only yesterday all
did begin
Tonight a door
opened on a dinner
out with "the three"
and in a beribboned
room waited your
well-earned glory
as together friends
and family
smiled and beamed
at the two
the golden
united well-traveled
two that are
you

  1. Pearl~ How sweet! My parents just celebrated their golden anniversary in November.

    I especially like--
    "golden years
    ripe as peaches
    dripping down the
    chin"

  2. Thank you Laurie - I needed to write something quickly for a family anniversary. It turned out that the bride announced much to my surprise that she is a "secret follower" of this blog! What a delight!
