This 3-5-3, Golden Anniversary, has the proper formatting and marks the fifty years that love has endured. Not an easy task today. Nice.

This is a poignant tribute to relationships that have wintered & summered with resiliency. There is no bitterness or lasting regrets. There is new life with each individual. This is an invitation for the reader to reflect upon their relationships. Well expressed.

I think this is a good entry for the 3-5-3 writing prompt.
This short piece tells of years spent together being Spring.
Well done and I wish you luck with the contest.

Nice sentiment; perhaps fresher imagery? Endless Spring and Years Shared Together are common expressions. With only a few words, you gotta give a good punch. Cheers. LIZ

I love this. Endless spring is a great way to look at love. Always making it new. Never letting it die. That's exactly how love should feel. I love the picture you Chose as well. It is fitting
