A Special Evening

An evening was planned
It would be special
A celebration
For their anniversary
Twenty years married

She bought raw oysters
Hot sauce and lemon juice
Crab cakes and some wine
It  would be their snack
For the special eve

After a frosty walk
In the chilly eve
In a room cozy
A stone fireplace
Lit all evening long

It would be passionate
A romantic eve
To be remembered
On their twenties
Wedding anniversary
Wedding
