Our Love Grew


Fifty-nine
     years flew by
          here we are

Still in love
     I love you
          you love me

Fifty-nine
     Valentines
          we have shared

Our two hearts
     through the years
          multiplied

Three children
     five grand-kids
          spouses too

Now we are
     fifteen hearts
          how love grew!

Sixty years
     married, June
          We are blessed.


Sandra M. Haight
