    Hello Linda: How are you, my good friend? We haven't talked for a long time and I have missed that. The weather here is getting much colder so I guess I will become homebound for the next few months. I still get around with a cane or a walker at times. Getting old is not a lot of fun and having MS sure doesn't help anything. The first day of December will make 25 years with this disease. Thank you for asking about me...

    How are you doing? I hope you and your family are all in good health.

    Thank you for your wonderful review and all those stars, I really do appreciate it. 50 years is a long time to stay together, but didn't you tell me that your Mom and Dad have been married for over 60 years. That truly is a blessing.

    Take care of yourself Linda and hopefully, we will talk a lot more through the winter months. Thanks again...Bill

A wedding anniversary is the celebration of love, trust, partnership, tolerance and tenacity. There is no more lovely, friendly and charming relationship, communion or company than a good marriage. Thanks for your wonderful tribute.
All the best...
Bill~

    Thank you, Bill, for your thoughtful review. I agree with everything that you said. It does take a lot of work from both partners to stay together basically from the teenage years through the golden years. Have a great day my friend...Bill

Yes, you are very fortunate to stay together for 50+ years with your loving wife by your side. And, even though someday you'll part, you ask the quintessential statement, "Please Remember Me." Your poem is lovely, and the flow and meter and rhymes are all super. The presentation, with the burning candle, is quite amazing. It must be comforting to know, that you will still be together, even after one of you passes on. This is very well written and deserves the prize for a thank you poem.
Take care, Jesse

congratulations on 50 years. my wife and I have 15 years. I cant wait for the day we have 50.


This made me feel like the thought of soul mates is not just a thought. it made me feel like it is truth in the universe.

    Thank you for your review, I appreciate it. Congratulations on your 15 years together. According to the experts, 50% of all marriages today end in divorce within the first 5 years. What a shame.

Well rhymed and the theme flowed beautifully. Having lost a wife to cancer, I felt the emotions you described. Thanks for writing it.

Beautifully written. I could hear my wife talking to me on your piece. I love how you used "wife" and "life" at the end. It was the perfect way to sum up everything. Beautiful
