Mom and Dad

Listen to poem:

Young couple just starting out wide-eyed and innocent still wet behind the ears bursting with dreams and hopes Opening each day as if a gift blessed with children to call their own Not yet overwhelmed with burdens brought on by the years not yet disillusioned by the obstacles of life around the corner Weathering the storms they stayed strong through the years faithfully lovingly devoted renewing vows with each anniversary AP: Honorable Mention 2020 Posted in March, 2018

To me, this is a tribute to yourself and your husband, and I think it is the loveliest tribute ever, and you must have had the stay together forever kind of marriage you need to fully understand this poem, Line. BRAVO!

"Opening each day as if a gift" is such a gem of a line. It sparkles more brightly than diamonds, if that's possible...Lovely, lovely poem, Line! :) gershon
