[hometext] => A poem I wrote as a tribute to my grandparents on their diamond anniversary.
[bodytext] => I think that I’ll remember love, as witnessed by my eyes. Whilst sat in a conservatory alight with radiant sky. I think that I’ll remember giving ear to their advice. My grandfather’s great aid could not be valued with a price. The key to sixty years of marriage, promptly he did say, was a theory of genius: ‘Let the woman have her way.’ And I shall not forget the words my grandmother spoke clearly, whilst pouring tea within his cup, and sweetening it dearly. She told me with an air of grace, whilst stuffing me with myriad cakes: ‘For marriage hard as diamonds One must learn to give and take.’ And as we sat and drank I watched them meet each other’s gazes. I saw between them, all of life, and all its wandering phases. I saw that they had navigated all of love’s vast mazes. A sight to leave the hardest men in deep, delirious dazes. I think that I’ll remember, how no words needed be spoken. A silence, and a jewel-like union, never to be broken. So on this day of wonder may we raise our glasses tall. To sixty years of marriage, and a love that conquered all.

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. ©
