A Unique Anniversary Gift A great idea for any anniversary, A Gift of Poetry is a truly romantic way of expressing your innermost thoughts and feelings.
Whether for your partner or for your parents, an anniversary poem will make the day an unforgettable experience.
(Here's a good example of what can be achieved. Tom wanted something special for his parents for their 50th wedding anniversary. Tom has kindly given his permission for his poem and story to be published)
Our Light - Guiding everybody safely to shore
Our Light
Mom and Dad, you're two very special people, and that's why we're all gathered here today, your love for us has been our beacon, and now there's a few words we'd like to say:
Your love and commitment to one another is extraordinary, your example has been our guide through the tough times, very often, you've been the rhyme in our reason, in other words, you've put the meaning in our rhymes.
You met at the corner ice cream store, it was a place where you'd get to corner your dreams, and there, your wonderful story started, a story of one of the world's greatest ever teams.
The CIA recruited Mom because of her aptitude, and Dad was in the Marines during WWII, two people, very much in love, just doing what they had to do.
And the Marine Corps taught us well, I think we can remember Montezuma and Tripoli if we try, as there was one hymn we all knew before kindergarten, Dad taught and drilled everyone the words to "Semper Fi".
You were committed to giving us the best education possible, Disney Land was swapped for tail gate picnics off Route 95, but that didn't matter to us one iota, because we felt loved and so very much alive.
When we were still teenagers, Mom took us on the infamous “Ride”, she'd drive us around until we got a job, she'd never sleep until everywhere had been tried.
And life wasn't always easy, sometimes, we had cheese and cracker sandwiches for dinner, but you showed us how to be successful, and most importantly, how to graciously be a winner.
Because with hard work and determination, and if you've got a dream to be believed, you taught us anything is possible, there is simply nothing that can't be achieved.
Because of your commitment to the church, and your exceptional ability to organize, we grew up feeling active and vibrant, although this should come as no surprise.
Oft times on the phone to volunteers Mom would say: “I don't want a decision now, just think about it”, and slowly she moves the planet towards goodness, step by step, inch by inch, bit by bit.
Mom had a special love for Bonnie and Keltie, and they still have a special hold on her heart to this day, and I think they're still bounding around somewhere, tails wagging, coats shining, eyes full of play.
Dad's business taught us about commitment, honor in every endeavor and honesty will bring its own reward, and because of those lessons in life, everyone of us has graciously soared.
You also taught us about love, and that's a pretty important lesson for life, you taught us how to be great parents, and how to be a loving husband and wife.
No matter who or what the situation, no matter what time is on the clock, you are ALWAYS there to give aid or comfort, you are like this magnificent grounding rock.
And just like the Nubble Light, you have steered this family safe to shore, and we will love you for all of time, and then we will love you for just a little bit more.
Because, you indeed have been our beacon, your light has guided us safely to port, and finally, in closing, we'd like to share just one last thought.
Your love, for us, for one another, for the world, is also a light that shines for a brighter day, and I think we should all follow your example, no matter what, we should find your way.
Because with love and giving we will find the light, and that light will shine for evermore, so happy 50th Wedding Anniversary Mom and Dad, we love you (and that's really what these words are for). Copyright Allen Jesson :) 2003
Allen,
Just a quick note to say thanks for the poem. It was read during my parents
50th wedding anniversary party and not a dry eye could be seen throughout
the room. It clearly was the apex of the event and no doubt will be
remembered by those who attended for quite a while. I'm sure you hear it
often but you are truly gifted and your poem will be held in high regard
always (I'm told that my parents still read it daily because each reading
brings new meaning to the words).
Again, thanks so much for all your help. I will keep your card for future
reference for myself and my friends/colleagues.
Respectfully,
tom
