"Hey, would you ever go out with someone like me?" I dropped the seed at nineteen And you all wise and above Covered it secretly with your love.
Pride and passion You and me
At twenty, I was lost and very lonely Engaged to a twit to whom monster trucks and Wrestle Mania brought ecstasy Poor little me.
Dumb and dumber Him and me
Sadly I was more lost when I left Drowning in drink and fun Nights were cold and long Sleeping where I didn't belong
Cold and colder Them and me
No direction Looking for the end Void of love Then, you my friend Saved me
"Want to go for coffee?" We went, I drove, erratically; My life, but you didn't mind We stopped at the doughnut shop Got coffees to go Sipped and talked It started to snow You noticed the flag Trembling in the night
Pride and passion You and me
Flying in the spotlight "If you go out there and sing the anthem I'll give you a kiss." Oh, what bliss I reached for the door and grabbed our life Fourteen years today What can I say
tasha! Oh, this was so great. I hope someday I shall be able to identify with the eventual happiness of this poem. Something to look forward to. You have a wonderful way of expressing yourself - I loved the 'pride and passion' line. thanks...
May all the maidens out there continue to wait with hearts of hope and may all the knights out there remember the love once found in the sunset. C 2002 VoiceOfTheStars Don't Click Here.

Oooohh luvleetasha and (your) hubby, hope you have a happy, happy and a very happy time – today and ever after!!!!!!!!!!!!! All the very best of luve and luck (“luve” just came out but seems nice so that’s how I’d spell it here). Dawn, from what (little) your works and words have told us about Mr. Hubby, he seems to be a person – just like you, and I think you’re both lucky to have each other and deserving of each other.
Celebrate , be happy, have a bright morning, fun day, romantic evening and sexy night!
Nice poem by the way ... written by heart, and heart-warming . Well-written, didja show him ? (edit - so many smileys, I noticed, can ya guess I’m happy for ya both? ) God bless you both.. My heartiest wishes for a lovely, stable marriage and lifelong friendship.

. . . I reached for the door and grabbed our life sixteen years today What can I say?
Pride and Passion You and me Happy Anniversary
Time and again since my tenure here I've seen "disrespectful" clashes, leading to the locking of posts (repression and resentment), the leaving of good quality members(still more resentment), and the out and out banning of some(unending resentment).
Awwww! ~Dances for joy~ Sorry I forgot I recalled the date as March 15th anyway. Have yourselves a great time today, together and always and always together!

I love this poem and your poetical tribute to your marriage.
After duly noting your 17 years, I suspect John Henry Newman's poem has application here for what marital "yoked-ness" may mean, me thinks:
Life's Lessons
I learn as the years roll onward And leave the past behind, That much I have counted sorrow but proves our God is kind; That many a flower I longed for Has a hidden thorn of pain, And many a rugged path Led to fields of ripened grain.
The clouds but cover the sunshine; They cannot banish the sun. And the earth shines out the brighter When the weary rain is done. We must stand in the deepest sorrow To see the clearest light, And often from wrong's own darkness Comes the very strength of right.
We must live through the weary winter, If we would value spring. And the woods must be cold and silent, Before the robins sing. The flowers must be buried in darkness, Before they can bud and bloom. And the sweetest and warmest sunshine, Comes after the storm and gloom.
So the heart, from the hardest trial, Gains the purest joy of all. And from the lips that have tasted sadness, The sweetest songs will fall. For as peace comes after suffering, And love is reward of pain, So, after earth, comes heaven, And out of our loss, the gain.
From "Dumb and dumber.... to "cold and colder", Thank God His tender hands of love continue to lead you into deeper waters of true love.

WOWOWOWOW! You lucky thinglets... seventeen years, with the love-o-meter still rising! Not an easy job, but you guys pulled it off well.. I wish you have had the happiest anniversary ever (yet the least amongst the ones to come), and many, many years of such real togetherness and friendship.

From the beginning you've made me feel deeply loved! NEVER had I known such love. I sure as hell recognized it, but does that mean I'd know what to do with it?
Let's just say I try.
This mis-guided girl (for crying out loud-I'm almost 40) . . . this woman tries.
I'm going to borrow a line from our song: "These times are troubled and these times are good And they're always gonna be . . ."
Troubled – with a capital T! While the good is the glue holdin' me and you together . . .18 years today.

May the glue never become thin ever! Happy 18th anniversary to tasha and him.

much love, light and laughter, ananya.
