The Golden Anniversary


I met him when my youth was still intact and
 
all my dreams were simply of the glory days

ahead....


I loved him when my girlish charms were innocent
 
and every blush he saw came from the

heart....


I aged with him when years began to weather

bones and rip away at dreams yet
 
unfullfilled....


I burried him when life and breathe and hope

itself exhausted every chance it ever had....


Fifty years together

Ended in a moment

And now I am alone
 
....again
