For the Fifty Years and Forever!

I held her hands

And led to the dark room

“Clandestine affair”, she commented

“Hold your breath”, I said

Then, I hugged her tight

Pecked on her cheeks

Her big eyes showed surprise

When I whispered, “Golden jubilee, it is!”

Then, I slid a gold ring into her wrinkled fingers

Her eyes shone with tears. She said,

“I love you, for the fifty years and forever!”
