Poem Wording:

Today, of all days, is a time to reflect
On times gone by, and those still to come yet
You both deserve medals for a service so long
Though it’s fairly obvious that you sing the same song

All those years ago you committed to each other
Became a unity together, not just a friend or lover
And still you’ll say the same today and say it to the end
The reason you survived is that you married your best friend

Well congratulations to you both, on getting it so right
On filling your life with love, laughter and delight
On never becoming normal, always appreciating what you’ve got
Never tiring of each other, or veering from the plot

Forty years is quite a stretch, but one thinks it fair to say
That you’ll be holding hands together forever and a day
Happy Ruby Anniversary, it’s true you’ve had many before
But you’re congratulated on reaching so far and wished so many more
