Ode to Jeffrey

6/30/2012

These thoughts came to me suddenly today and while they would make a great anniversary card in September for Jeff, I thought I'd say it today.

Ode to Jeffrey

You stood at my door

On May 5th, 1974

Your sister and my dad thought

You could be my Mr. Right

That one night has turned into years

and though we've had troubles

we've never looked back or regretted a thing

Thirty-eight years, over half of our life

You've been my husband, I've been your wife

If I could have only one prayer answered in my life

It would be for 38 more years with the

man who stood at my door on May 5th, 1974

Our skin now sags, our eyes are less bright

And now both of us have to get up through out the night

But still we love and still we care

And all of this from a blind date

With the man who stood at my door

on May 5th, 1974 

Love always P
