[hometext] => This is dedicated to my mom and dad, who today have shared 35 years together. Since I am so far away I wanted to show them how much they mean to me and how proud I am of them too. I love you mom and dad...Happy anniversary.
[bodytext] => The Years Went by… Thirty -five years ago today One woman and one man, Bound their love together always Placing rings on each other’s hands They stood before The Almighty One Taking their vows together, A promise made for a love they shared To honour and cherish forever “Mary, I take you to be my wife To love forever more, Never again shall I love another For it’s you alone I adore” “And Garry, my husband I take you to be Through sickness and health, I do, Never again shall I love another From this day forward, only you” Their vows were made, the rings exchanged Sealed with a kiss for life, Hand in hand they stood together Forever now as man and wife And the years went by… From a dream they shared of family life Four children they brought to this world To nurture and love as they had each other First three wonderful boys, then a girl. They gave them all the best they had Everything that they possibly could Treated them equal, loved them the same In the way that all parents should. Dad taught them to fish, fixed their cars, gave them love All things that a father should do, He never once said he didn’t have time- A father that they could look up to. Mom wiped their tears, cleaned their knees, gave them love Everything that a mother should do, She never once raised an angry hand- A mother that they could look up to Through trials and tests that the four put them through They still gave them a hand to guide, And through their love they now could see- A family that filled them with pride. And the years went by… Though they are older, their children now grown All look up to them still today, For they were the ones that brought them this far By showing them love everyday. Now little voices fill their ears once again And Grandma and Grandpa they are, A family still close, though bigger it seems- Even though some are near, some are far. Those vows they took so long ago now Still remain in their minds and their hearts, So much to be proud of, so much they have done- They could not have done it apart. They only hope now that the lessons they’ve taught Will live on in their children somehow, And surely they will for the love they instilled Will be passed on to their grandchildren now. Mom and Dad we all love you, more than you could know And be proud of all that you’ve gained, For the example you’ve shown and the love that you gave Will always and forever remain. And the years will still go by… [comments] => 6 [counter] => 201 [topic] => 55 [informant] => krystal [notes] => [ihome] => 0 [alanguage] => english [acomm] => 0 [haspoll] => 0 [pollID] => 0 [score] => 0 [ratings] => 0 [editpoem] => 1 [associated] => [topicname] => dedicatedpoems )

Poetry is much like a great photo, a single "moment in time" capturing many feelings and emotions. Yet, they are very alive; creating stirrings within the readers who form visual "pictures" of the expressed emotions within the Poem. ©
