Golden Anniversary

At last our Golden day is here
We long have waited it my dear
And did not doubt it Would arrive
If God kept both of us alive.

The day has dawned for us my dear
The sun is shining bright and clear.
No cloud I see in that blue sky
The day seems made for you and I.

We did not earn this golden day,
But God just gave it anyway;
So we'll be glad when friends of yore
Arrive to visit us once more

And wish another fifty years
Some with smiles, some with tears
Of course we know that will not be
But we always with that agree

When neighbors, too, come by to say
We wish you well on this your day.
They chat awhile then on they go
There are other coming in you know

But we made room for all who come
For that is just a rule of thumb.
And we just feel so glad to be
On this our anniversary

When all have come and all have gone,
And we are left there all alone.
We read the cards and then we say
Oh! Wasn't this a lovely day.
