I guess it's wonderful that two people can stay together that long without one killing the other. LOL. Bad joke. Thanks for the heads up Helen. Happy 50th Anniversary, Debi and Glen!

Lol. One reviewer added up the years of her marriages and came up with more than 50. 😊
Thanks for reviewing, Ric. I'm sure Debi will get your joke. Two humans putting up with one another for half a century is no small feat. Hugs!
Comment from Jim Wile
Beautiful poem, Helen, in tribute to Debi and Glen's 50 years of marriage. This was so nicely written and presented with a wonderful picture too.
What is the significance of Rubik's cubes and post-it notes to Debi and Glen? Just curious. My oldest grandson is really into cubing, as cubers call it, and is extremely fast in solving them. He owns many--from simple 2x2s up to 13x13s and a variety of odd ones too, for example in the shape of a dodecahedron. He can solve them all.

Yes, my grandson has all those, too. He learned from watching videos and he was very fast - just seconds to solve kinds of "cubes" and he would have gone to a tournament but it was 2020 and they canceled it due to the pandemic. He hasn't been into them as much now. Back to baseball. Our grandsons probably have a lot in common including a love of math.
Thanks for reviewing! The reference to the Rubik's Cube and post-it notes is because they are 50 years old, too. Hugs!

This is a beautiful tribute poem to Debi and Glen for their 50th wedding anniversary. Your picture is perfect to illustrate those fifty years of love and your rhyme is delightful. Excellent job!

So wonderfully creative and aimed at two of our most valued Fanstory friends. Beautifully written and one more amazing tribute to a couple who have shared fifty years together. People like these serve as great inspirations to all of us. They prove the real examples of the power of love.
Thank you for showing us how married life should be done.

This is quite lovely. I had 52 years of marriage, but it required three men. I have two good adult men that are independent as I raised them to be. Thank goodness for email, The youngest is in Alaska. Saturday is moving day. good work. Karen

Comment from judiverse
This is beautifully written, and I don't know how you keep up with all these events. Fifty is a long time, and so much can happen during all those years. The couple sees their children grow up, and they are tested by the problems of old age. They can take pride in their achievements and their fifty years together. Great reference to the oak, and beautiful rhyme throughout. judi

A beautiful poem for a beautiful couple, Helen. I'm sure this poem will bless their hearts. It has mine. I'm glad we have an opportunity to share back to Debi for all the poems and supports she's given.
Take care,

Comment from Pam Lonsdale
I am trying to understand the first two lines of the second stanza - you're saying lots of things have been invented during that time?
I love the reference to the "mighty oak" and the passage of time as Debi and Glen have made their own mighty impression on this world.
Thanks for honoring the one who honors us every week with her poetry.

Well, yes, and specifically, the Rubik's Cube and post-it notes are 50 years old. So that's why I chose those items. Thanks so much, Pam! Hugs!
