My best Friend
The wife that I married
More than fifty years ago
Is still the best friend that I have
Love continues to grow
We have been lucky with our life
And have a close relation
With our daughters and grandsons
Beyond expectation
We encourage them with what they do
And support them when needed
They return the compliment
No cry for help unheeded
To stay friends you must try
To adjust expectation
You both will change as time goes on
Accept some adaptation

Ohmy gosh. I hope someday I have the same thing as what you have. You are very fortunate. I just met a man 6 months ago and spend time with him a lot. We've gone through a lot of the same things so it helps. We "like" each other but have said that we're BEST friends. I'm happy too b/c we need that before anything. Thank you for this poem. It's wonderful.
