Fortytwo...

Forty-two!

Now, who'd think that time had passed, I ask,
With ease and effortlessness - bereft of task!
42's easy to write, and simply a number, see?
However, are much more than what could be!

Years are measured, eternity: immeasurable,
Whatever the language...always pleasurable!
Now's our anniversary, and onwards we aim,
'Wedlock'? ~ certainly isn't 'jailed': I acclaim.

Phase, by phase, our life's story progresses,
This one's noted, 'friends, & family' stresses;
Forty-two years married, future awaiting us,
comfortably voyaging...without more fuss!
