AN ANNIVERSARY POEM		RGAaPoet@aol.com

           (For my wife Anita, on our 30th. Anniversary)

	So many years have come and gone!
	But all their joys remain.
	New joys presume the year is one,
	And add links to the chain.

	I Make mistakes and sometimes say
	Unkind and hurtful things;
	Yet, gentle soul, you clear the way.
	You bind my soul to wings.

	You do forgive-the reasons why
	You needn't say ... I know!
	You guide me to a fairer sky.
	You set my heart aglow!

	I never mean to be unkind.
	The Heavens know I care.
	You are an Angel in my mind,
	And you're so sacred there.

	My Darling, you have been the light
	That lit so many days!
	You nurture me; you treat me right
	In many precious ways!

	Those days have run to many years,
	And every day I pray
	We'll add more years-ignore the cares
	Which visit ... but don't stay....

	I love you, Dear, and my soul sings
	That in a charming song.
	To me you are a Prize for Kings,
	And I shall love you long....

	You're still the beacon in my life.
	I'm proud and happy you're my wife.
