Anniversary Poem
Got married on Thanksgiving Day;
A backyard was the venue.
Extended family gathered;
There was turkey on the menu.
It inconvenienced everyone
Yet those who loved us made it.
The traffic was horrendous
And the stress did thus pervade it.
But now, 44 years later,
Here we are and still together.
Looking back, we couldn’t know
The many storms we’d have to weather.
Still, we did it as a team
And it’s kept us both from sinking
So we’ll head out for a meal
And a toast with what we’re drinking.
