Diamond Anniversary
Today’s the anniversary
Of when my parents wed,
Which they would likely celebrate
If they were not both dead.
It was 1947
When they tied the marriage knot,
Never knowing then that 33
Were all the years they’d got.
So they never hit the big one,
Toasting number 7-5.
I will raise a glass to honor them,
Their spirits still alive.
