Ed and Joan: The First Fifty Years!
We tend to be a family of long marriages…..of course, there are a few shorter, chaotic ones, too! But, when people do cling to each other for the long haul….holding hands throughout the journey, it is worthy of note. Especially in today’s world. Congratulations, you two……and many more!!!
Written Just for You
By The
Q.O.E.
You go off to college
To garner some knowledge
To launch yourself into life…
And, if you are lucky,
Possibly plucky,
You might even win you a wife!
There’s a fling,
Then a ring…
Then a big Wing Ding,
That makes you “Mister and Missus…”
Showers and flowers…
You cuddle for hours…
Perhaps have a few hugs and kisses!
From the peaks to the pits…
Old Reality hits…
Cuz life’s full of up-and-down whirls:
But, before you can blink,
Much less, pause to think…
You are looking at three little girls!
Home and careers
Sometimes get in arrears…
Or give us great cause for alarm:
But Love remains warm…
And you weather the storm…
Because you’re both dripping with charm!
I will tell you the truth…
Since I’m “long in the tooth”…
And have done this much longer than you…
That regardless the trouble,
Your joys will be double…
Almost too good to be true!
Yes, here you are now!
And, it hits you…
KA-POW!
At your Half-a-Century Dinner…
You were each other’s dream…
You have made a great team…
So, you might as well
Stick with a winner!!!
Love and Best Wishes!!
Lida and Dick
