A very wel-written even-the odds poem about a forty year anniversary at the end of June and the couple look back over the past forty years and realize only true love can last this long.

June portrayed as the patron month of weddings and wedding anniversaries in this lovely poem.

It flows soft and serene to the cleverly chosen ending. Welcomes the reader to the contented haven of mature love

The image is a perfect match.

Happy Anniversary.

Blessings, Julia

June weddings are lovely, but you show that what made this a marriage has lasted forty years--and still counting.
I like how you use two synonyms to begin and end your poem. Rod

Congratulations for the 40 years and a well conceived poem. You met the syllable formula for the verse but the message carries the work. The story is worth reading regardless of the format. Well Done. -Robert-

You've written an excellent even-the-odds poem and entry for the contest
Sounds like June is a special month in many ways
and some things do last, like diamonds, gold and love
Excellent picture and perfect shape for the poem
Well done
Best June wishes
Robert

I think that your poem is amazing and inspiring. I love poems about long lasting love. I think it is extremely beautiful that the couple took a vow of marriage, and their marriage lasted for forty years. This poem will inspire couples to stay together through the good and bad times. Fantastic poem!
