Fifty-One Years Have Past

Where did the time go?
Many hours, many days, many weeks, many months,
Years of working to pay the bills.
Many years raising the kids.
Many times packing and moving from apartment to apartment to house to house to house.
Many times solving problems,
Big ones and small ones and the in between ones.
Where did the time go?
Many sickness some were easy and some were hard.
Many problems both small and large,
Some  were hard to solve.
Many years that have past,
So very, very fast.
Many memories that will last.
Many, many years at the last,
Here we are fifty-one years that have past.
“Happy Anniversary”
