o/t but are there any poets out there?????

[Iwant3]

I have my parents Ruby wedding celebrations on Sunday and they have asked if i will say a poem for them - My mum chose it, but there is one line in it that she doesn't like the last word - but cannot think of an alternative to the word or to the whole line if need be.....and neither can I!

so any ideas to replace the word below in red or the whole line it is part of if it makes it better?????

Now is the time to celebrate lives
As your Ruby Wedding Day arrives
Savour each moment, reflect on the past
Memories shared that forever last

Contratulation and love we send your way
A story of love on your Special Day
A love that has lasted throughout the years
sharing the laughter along with the tears

Forty years ago, you were married today
May your dreams be fulfilled in every way
A wonderful day for a couple so complete
To be part of your lives is such a treat

Look back on this day and always recall
Mum an Dad you are the best of all
You're respected and loved, we cherish you
Thank you for everything that you do

When this magical day is over and done
We wish you many more years to come
In our hearts and souls your will always stay
Mum and Dad

Happy Ruby Wedding Day!

i thought of 'can't be beat' instead of 'such a treat' but that seems just as bad, lol

Glad you like it Angela, hopefully your mum will too. Is there a big party or a small family affair?

I'm going with your words Karen - thank you so much

It's a relatively small party - I think about 15-20 people - ours are the only kids going so they will have plenty of attention
