Hi Gershon, love this short and fine poem. My deepest respect to your parents. Many long and happy marriages began just before or during WW II. Several older couples at the church I used to go to got married during WW II. God's blessings to you & yours. ~

You are right, Regina. Never thought of that intersectionality before. Thanks, gw

Aw, so nice of you to say that, John. I hope so, but I'll never really know. So I'll keep pressing forward 'til my dying day...
