Residential Celebration

RESIDENTIAL CELEBRATION

Although silver and gold have gone
Never did I expect to get to sixty
Nor survive with you by my side
I am nonetheless always so grateful
Very opposed to what is superficial
Every thought is now of platinum
Remembering that so few do make it
Sometimes just the one, not both
Albeit still in body, if not in mind
Recent memories just out of reach
Yet still we both wear wedding rings
