Notes About The Poem

So excited for today! So happy I have parents

worthy of great celebration. I love them so!

Diamond Jubilation

DIAMOND JUBILATION

I’ll be dripping with diamonds today.
They’ll parade proudly on my chest.
For the proliferation of the best day
Spent in honor of my parent’s crest.

Small sparklers a joyous sampling,
Little butterflies latent potentiality —
Breaking the sound barrier of reality
In their quiet splendiferous offing.

The little danglers will spread their wings
Sailing across the turquoise sea
The expanse and depth of its glory —
This cheerful celebration means much to me.

The jubilation of precious jewels.
Twins to others — but to themselves —
Sixty years of pulling together the cool
lifetime of love and happiness like no other.

Sixty years wow, my parents were hoping for their gold 50th but my dad sadly died two years before. What a wonderful tribute to them dear Kim. Blessings, Jennifer.

Thank you so much, Jennifer! It truly is cool to see my parents make this landmark. Fifty, perhaps but sixty! Sorry about your dad.
