Poems by The Old Cowboy
When I Said I Do
I wrote this for my wife and presented it to her on Nov 9th 2018 our 50th wedding anniversary.
When I said I do
Fifty years ago today we stood before God and Family
The preacher speaking as I held your hand so dearly
This long and beautiful journey that we entered
So young just beginning to walk so awkward
Each step taken leading us to new roads
Standing with you we met many crossroads
So unsure of which way we should turn
Not knowing what would be the next episode
Each day we nurtured our love for one another
Weeks months and years giving us adventure
Now on this wonderful day fifty years later
I could never find a love so grand or greater
With you my darling my life has grown
My bride my love my soul all you own
For my heart only beats for you
Just as it did when I said I do
Roberta: I love you honey. Jack
