To my precious Pat:
The weather's turning cold and grey;
my heart is warm meanwhile.
For it's been fifty years this week,
since I first saw you smile.
That moment is forever mine;
Great Hall in amber light.
You stood before me, like a dream,
a vision in the night.
I took a breath before I moved;
less bold than I put on.
You smiled on me and spoke to me,
and then my heart was gone.
Nothing since then has been the same;
your smile changed every thing.
The world's a brighter, better place,
whatever time might bring.
That is so beautiful, Barbarian. What a precious relationship you two have, and I hope she knows how blessed she is to have a man who is so loving and eloquent. Happy 50 years to you both - and many more. ((((Mr and Mrs Barbarian)))) ::smile::
Absolutely wonderful.

Wonderful and even better that you can say this after fifty years....may God give you many more years together. I asked this of my wonderful bride fifty-one years ago this coming December, and she came ....and the rest is a wonderful love story between two sinners saved by the grace of God.

Beautiful! Congrats to you and Mrs Barbarian and may you be blessed with many more years!
Thanks, all of you. I owe my life to her. I hate to think of what I might have been, if I hadn't met her. She was the way God led me back out of my dark night of the soul.
