Our Secret to Longevity

  
     Love and marriage
       Baby daughter, canopied carriage

     Anniversaries come along
        A schoolgirl now, can do no wrong

     At college graduation
        Daughter speaks, standing ovation...

     Doting grandparents now
        Time to renew our vows ... 

     .Anniversary number fifty
        Our secret to longevity ~ 
           Staying hip, now we’re ‘Swifties’

That's the way to keep up with the times, my friend. I'm a Swiftie too! I Just wish I was a wide receiver for the Kansas City Chiefs named Travis as well. Stay hip - Hipster!

What a nice chronology. I'm still not hip enough to know much about Taylor Swift, heard a few songs that sounded pretty good though.
