FIFTY YEARS MARRIED
The following poetry was written
on the occasion of the golden jubilee
of the wedding of Mr. and Mrs. John
W. Taylor by their son-in-law, Mr.
J. C. Agnew, of Winnipeg.
Fifty years!:.,. but a day
Since we were 'Weid ’neath Parkhill’s
spire.
Time plays such pranks with us}
As youths, we little think how fast
The future days go rushing past.
The dreams of youth, the, hopes of
man,
They never come to fruit as plan,
For prankish time steps in and sings
Away the days with other-things.
’Tis thus witli, man. We piaft and
plan,
Hopeful of days to come
Our plans fall back, new schemes
attract,
It may be sorrow doth us wrack,
Before the day is done.
A wise Creator He, Who hid from us
The future sorrows and the pain,
The disappointments, well as gain.
On such a Festal day as this,
No room for vain regrets or thought
For many things we hoped for but
had not.
Happy the man whose youthful
dreams come true,
But happier still the pair, who look
ing back,
Give thanks for blessings, praise the
Lord anew,
And face the everchanging future,
With faith and prayer.
Fifty years! What change the
world has seen!
Our fathers hewed through forests
dense
With Crudest tools on tasks immense,
They had no traction plows or
gasoline
And scarcely knew the reaping
machine.
They little dreamed of ’lectic light,
But lived at night by candle light.
Fify years! since Bell invented
The telephone which implemented
Man’s intercourse tvith man.
No flying boat there yet had been
Folks even mocked" Darius Green.
Who then did dream of radio
Or wireless beams o’er world
to go?
From stage coach slow and Buffing
Billie,
We rush about like mad men silly.
The auto now will scare suffice,
for Winigs we cry, Or such device.
If fifty years ago a man had said,
We would be talking ’round the
globe without a wife,
Or nightly hear in our abode
through spaces far,
• If men even said that we,
Movies of the world Would see,
Wh would have called him’daft.
The world do move, an ancient said,
And we can scarce keep up ahead.
This age goes on so fast.
Outs is good fortune in such a time
to be,
Ybtirs also blessing,/helped by mem- -■ ■> r
And so this ha#i>y day,
With fifty summers past,
We trjist the coming fifty,
Will be bettef than the last.
To you and yours • be health
and hikpe
To yen be joy and ^eace,
That from this golden wedding
day,
May happiness increase.
