Perpetual Valentine
It was a Thursday the first time we "met"
Just like today except two score and three
Nearly two years from the time our eyes first beget
Who could have imagined what our lives might be
The pitter-patter of little feet
The hurrahs of victory, the agony of defeat
Tears of pain and tears of joy
The honor and pride of raising three boys...
Now men.
The triumph of staying married ...with poise
Amen.
Being witness to the birth of our baby girl
And being there for her in her young adult world
Defining and redefining love and being in love
And realizing our years have been blessed from above
For it is not only an equation of you and me
There's our wonderful children for all to see
Lives that could never be the same , if not at all
Because the cosmic forces of Nature and God
Saw to it that we found each other...
And Love.
