Poem

Today we drove from Quebec City to Vermont and as more and more memories we collect
time together on the road…gives us more time to reflect:

We took a tour of Le Chateau Frontenac it was our last night there to dwell
and with 131 years of history…she has some stories to tell.

One story that we loved…took place years ago…in June
about a young couple who came to this hotel…on their honeymoon.

This young couple stood at the head of this double staircase
and…wanting to create a memory that was truly theirs
decided to make a wish…while each descended different stairs.

They decides to meet at the bottom…
and ,once their wishes were made, knew they’d be remiss…
If they didn’t take that moment to seal their wishes with a kiss.

So they descended the stairs, made their wishes, 
and after sealing them with a kiss too.
promised never to reveal their wishes to one another…
lest those wishes would not come true.

Skip ahead 60 years…for their anniversary 
their children decided to send them back
to the place where their life together began…Le Chateau Frontenac.

Where at the top of the same double staircase…60 years delayed
they decided to reveal to one another…the honeymoon wishes they had made.

It turns out they both made the same wish…as those 60 yers flashed back…
to make a life together and some day, if they’ were lucky…return to Le Chateau Frontenac.

Today people who are told that story are encouraged to make a wish
while descending the stairs…and not to be remiss…
when they get to the bottom…to meet…and seal their wishes with a kiss.

Deborah and I thought this was a great idea…we descended the stairs,
made our wishes…kissed…even let out a few cheers…
And if you want to know what we wished for…
we’ll meet you at the head of a double staircase in Le Chateau Frontenac
in another 60 years.
