Well here they are fifty five years later
To tell their story they need no narrator,
For this they can do all on their own
To tell of happy times they have known.
For Sheila and Alf 55 years have passed
And for them the time has gone ever so fast,
As time has gone on the years have not been kind
For in latter years their health has declined.
Still their happy memories linger on
That they can look back and think upon,
They can recall so many good things
And a smile to their faces this often brings.
A more loving couple you will never find
These two people are considerate and kind,
They`ll never quite understand their worth
But I say they are the salt of the earth.
I can`t take away their struggle with pain
But a friend to them I intend to remain,
I haven`t got much to give I`m afraid
But my support for them will never fade.
I wish you both a very happy day
Though I won`t be with you I`m sad to say,
But in my thoughts you will be for sure
In that knowledge you can be secure.
You are both loved but this you already know
Because when I see you I tell you so,
They are not empty words that I say
My heart feels what my words relay.
I hope you enjoy this momentous day
When happy memories come your way,
Love and good wishes are sent from me
For a Happy Emerald Anniversary.
