Diamond anniversary poems
Sixty years, a diamond's light,
The hardest stone, the purest gleam;
May every day be warm and bright
And love still feel just like a dream!
A diamond fears no storm or years,
And neither does the love you share;
May laughter chase away all tears
And joy surround you everywhere!
