Perpetual Valentine

It was a Thursday the first time we "met" Just like today except two score and three Nearly two years from the time our eyes first beget Who could have imagined what our lives might be  The pitter-patter of little feet The hurrahs of victory, the agony of defeat Tears of pain and tears of joy The honor and pride of raising three boys... Now men. The triumph of staying married ...with poise Amen. Being witness to the birth of our baby girl And being there for her in her young adult world Defining and redefining love and being in love And realizing our years have been blessed from above For it is not only an equation of you and me There's our wonderful children for all to see Lives that could never be the same , if not at all Because the cosmic forces of Nature and God Saw to it that we found each other... And Love. Copyright 2016 Iger Rolyat All Rights Reserved
