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.
