Poem Title:
Poem
For 60 years we'd done our best to keep each other happy, Bound to do what we believed the other'd like to do. You'd nudge me toward your ideas by droppin' tiny hints... And I'd nudge you toward ones of mine - intent on pamp'ring you. Bonding ever stronger for this trait of - selflessness - Melding more intensely as we made our way through 'Life' - Neither I nor Sandy had an inkling our propensity For making such concessions, through our years as 'man and wife', Had, without our knowing it, gradually been infusing us - 'Til after 60 happy years I'd literally evolved To where...on those occasions when an unfamiliar issue... The tricky type, that Sandy usually handled, needed solved... I would soon discover that solutions I'd come up with for taking care of something I'd not dealt with in the past - Matched precisely what she'd do! It happens all the time - And we're still gettin' along just like before - since Sandy passed! PS: I now have 4 new Audio-CDs - @ 4 1/2 hours each = (62 diverse pieces on each CD), plus a brand new (4-28-24) unique CREDIT-CARD-FLASH-DRIVE-BOOK with 566 poems and 43 illustrations available - (just $22, incl. stateside postage). They’re all listed on ebay under - “Mark Stellinga Poetry” - and, of course, also available by simply emailing me at -- mark@writerofbooks.com. Each is terrific for those who enjoy listening to poems as well as reading them, particularly those who travel heavily. (We use safe and simple - PayPal) Cheers, Mark
