Twentieth Marriage-Anniversary

Come, awhile sit with me, now

Or during the day whenever you are free

On this auspicious day of our marriage anniversary;

Come, let us peep into ourselves

With the mind’s eye, dear lady

And speak not; muse over; the years gone twenty;

Let us ponder over that happened good between us

And also over the bad,

About the future too, so the years to come aren’t sad;

God created males and females

In animals, in vegetation and in the human entity,

In His creation, pairs only, He created in plenty;

Let us be aware of His grace and our existence,

Why amongst all, He did us in a pair cast?

Merciful heaven has given us a chance,

Paired us in this birth to come clean on our past;

Let us be honest in thought and watch our actions

And honor His will and His pious soul-selections;

Presents make the present, shall soon be the past,

Not much longer in life these endure and last;

Forgive; forget; let us dive deep into inner peace

And give each other presents that forever last.
