We are celebrating 52 years of friendship and 50 years of marriage
August 18,1956-2006


Poem Artwork




Darling,

I chose my wife, the way one would choose a new gown, for qualities that would wear well. Marriage is more than just a union between two creatures, it is a union between two spirits.

Love is too fine a texture to be handled roughly. It is like a sensitive plant that won’t stand the slightest hint of unkindness. It must be watered by the shower of tender affection and expanded by a glow of kindness and guarded by an impregnable barrier of unshakable confidence. This confidence matured. This life will bloom with a fragrance in every season of life and sweeten our remaining senior years.

Our marriage is like a pair of shears so joined that it cannot be separated, often moving in opposite directions but always punishing anyone who comes between us.

The highest and favor of God is a wife, and to you I
say Namaska, the God in me continues to see, love, cherish, and respect the God in you.



Vos toujour (NGGYU)

ALL THINGS BLACK AREN’T ALWAYS BEAUTIFUL THIS LOVE IS AN EXCEPTION

Most people envision an angel as a soft feminine or cherubic form and that is fine for them but not for me. My angel is tall strong, Black, handsome, protective, loving and masculine. My angel is a fierce warrior spirit housed in a now aging body which still contains all of the strength of purpose of his youth. He lives and loves me unconditionally and he is the center of my universe.

I love you unconditionally my fierce warrior angel and have during our 52 years of friendship and now 50 years of marriage. Many think this is a long time but in reality it is short when one considers eternity and the fun and joy we share in this adventure of this lifetime.

If I could live 52 more years my lifetime companion of choice would be you alone. Tu eres mi corazon, mi vida Y te amo, hoy, manana Y siempre. You are my rock, my refuge, my dream of yesterday and thousands of tomorrows, and that dream remains the same to live and love you in this lifetime and beyond. Te amo, te amo, te amo, mi regalo de Dios, porque tu eres mi amor. Yo te voy amas siempre.

“M”

I was deeply moved by your poem(s)and I must admit that it is the first time in my life to have friends who have been married for fifty good years. I am lucky to be a friend and brother of this wonderful couple in America. God bless you and yours.

Mikii, truly a beautiful tribute to your love and devotion to each other. And you are so right. 50 years is not nearly long enough. You are both special people. I wish you and Percy eveything happiness has to offer, here...and there, today, tomorrow and always, on this side and... the other side. And may you each find each other again. And thank you for letting us celebrate with you.



Love to you both,
