Sixty Years

It seems like forever. . .
	It seems like yesterday.
What an incredibly
	long, winding road
we've been navigating.

Every twist and turn
	brought a new surprise.
Every time we danced
	 we missed a few steps.
You moved left, 
         I stepped right.

Two sons, two daughters
	 who have, over time,
heaped up their own
	 failures and wins.

Not much to tell
         of joy or sorrow
but that we’ve built
	 and held together
that which will still
	 be here tomorrow.
