Goldenrod Memories

1968, etched in my heart's core,

Seventeen and wed, we embarked on much more.

Your hair, a halo of sunlit memories,

Your dress framed you perfectly, a vision of light.

Your lips sang sweet notes all the way down the aisle,

In those moments, young love made every mile.

We were young and smart, not dumb, I believe,

In the tender embrace that we both did receive.

After all these years, you're still my sweet everything,

Thinking of us together makes my heart sing.

Tears fill my eyes as I reflect on our years,

In you, familiar beauty forever appears.

Thank you for trusting and caring so true,

For making my dreams a reality through you.

Though sometimes I wander in dreams' distant lands,

You bring them to life with your loving hands.

My sunlit memory, my bright shining light,

In your love and your care, everything feels right.

Thank you for being my partner, my friend,

In your arms, my dear love, my heart shall always mend.
