(Our 65th Wedding Anniversary)

"OUR LETTERS FROM LONG AGO"

Dedicated With Love To My Dear Husband

NELSON STANLEY HILL

On Our 65th Anniversary - August 18, 2011

"Let's save a few letters and read them some day ...

When we're old," - my young husband said.

It's been sixty-five years since our wedding day,

And our letters we haven't re-read!

They've been stored in a console table for years -

An item we purchased in nineteen-forty-nine.

It's a treasured heirloom we've kept through the years -

So perhaps it may stay in our family line.

On milestone anniversaries (since the time we met) -

We've planned to read the letters we wrote.

But on all those occasions ... we were "not old yet" -

At least that was my dear hubby's "quote"!

Happy Anniversary, Dear!  It's been sixty-five years -

And we're no longer young, you know.

Let's reminisce now about our yesteryears -

As we re-read Our Letters From Long Ago!

Written By Thelma Decker Hill

From one of our yesteryears (1943).
