Today is our 48th Anniversary … and my “Memories and Rhymes”, keep flowing …
Some Time Now
Anniversaries, they come, and they go
Some time now since that final May snow
Anniversaries, my soul does not let them pass
Some time now, I reminisced the last
Anniversaries, none ever forgotten
Some time now since your everlasting smile was taken
Anniversaries, over coral and every colour
Some time now since your tidal wave of valour
Anniversaries, when love grew stronger
Some time now since the years became longer
Anniversaries, covered by, love, suffering and pain
Some time now since our river flooded with rain
Your troubles fell, with an Autumn leaf
Forever enshrined, our promises of belief
Ivor Steven (c) … September 10th 2024

It’s always the memories of your shared happiness that you can CHOOSE to, remember, on these, ocassions, which will make the loss, a little easier to, take, and you know, that, you two will, meet back up in heaven in the future some day…
