This is just beautiful and perfectly captures all the facets of friendship and doing life together with them...AND you give credit and gratefulness where it is due. This is a great entry for the contest and the best one I have read!
Just beautiful!

This is the best kind of friendship there is! I share the same with my husband of (almost) 47 years. God bless you both richly. Sending you my best today as always and best wishes for the upcoming contest,

Sounds like a wonderful relationship, a marriage based on love, friendship, communication, and most of all on God and His grace. Beautifully written. I like the repetition of the two key elements.

Thank you for this touching and very relevant (to all couples and life-style partners) poem. I enjoyed the repeats at the beginning and end of each stanza. These repeats tied the poem together, though it is mainly a list. But what a list! It contains a lifetime of touching and heartfelt moments.

You have described what friends do and share over the course of a lifetime. I like how you sandwiched each stanza starting with "Kisses and conversation" and ending with "And God's grace." It's a beautiful thing when friends/spouses grow old together and grow in hope of heaven together. And it's all due to His grace! Best wishes in the contest!

Beautifully written Verna, the best thing and the best place that we can be is in the manifest grace of God. There is nowhere else to be. I love the ease of belief when we settle into that place, this is beautifully written friend Verna, your last of each stanza is that lovely truth. So well done, blessings Roy

I love your poem Verna, as it was so beautiful sharing a lifetime of with each other and every detail that shows how much you love each other. Not everyone can say that about their spouse. This is what a real marriage and friendship is all about. You are awesome my friend and what a lovely poem. You should have it framed for Father's Day!

The objective correlative of your work reminisces a wive's friendly recapitulation of the amiable and trying moments spent between herself, her husband, her children, close relations and acquaintances.

The work earns its texture through its effective use of anecdotes synonymous with oneness devoid of acrimony.

Excellent work. Bravo.

You summed up life nicely in this verse. It isn't a bad life even though it has both up and downs. The verse and last lines of each verse tells us that we have family and friend and with God's grace we are able to survive.
