The years speed by for you and me,
We still plan and enjoy to‑morrow;
Many happy days we've shared
Few were tinged with sorrow.
Our lives to‑day enable us
To have more time and leisure;
Being more with you, my dear,
Has given me much pleasure.
Over a span of many years
We've travelled Europe's best—
Lisbon, Greece, and eternal Rome
With these memories we are blessed.
Forest parks we once traversed
Hills, vales, and country lanes;
The Royal Parks must now suffice,
Still the will, but energy wanes.
Now we go to London Town,
And travel without cost
Enjoying all the sights and sounds,
No daylight hours are lost.
So much I owe to you, dear wife
You smooth and ease life's way;
My every wish you try to grant,
With love I try to pay.
Married now for oh! so long
I still feel I've been blessed
With such a loving partner
Who has withstood every test.
So, hand‑in‑hand we travel on
Wherever the road may turn
With life's lessons I'm content
Whilst you still yearn to burn.
Mike.
